She expresses this at facutly meetings ]]> 2017-04-16 12:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465236 jessica_mcgrath87 https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465286 Professional development is choice, but not always clear focus. 

The focus comes from what teachers want/need, not necessarily from student data. Although, we are changing that with our new Data person. 

Professional Dev is primarily whole group. ]]> 2017-04-16 12:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465286 jessica_mcgrath87 https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465344 Our principal attends PLCs and grade level meeting. She looks at our data to see areas are students are struggling. Looks for what is happening in the classroom that will improve this data. ]]> 2017-04-16 12:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465344 jessica_mcgrath87 https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465387 Not all teachers collaborate with eachother among grade levels. Collaboration is skewed, n clear protocols for PLCs. ]]> 2017-04-16 12:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465387 jessica_mcgrath87 https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465441 Principal is engaged in PLCs, attends workshops, and conferences. Brings her knowledge to our meetings and observations conferences.

No support for teachers as learners. ]]> 2017-04-16 12:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465441 jessica_mcgrath87 https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465485 Our members are supportive- Reading specialists and most grade levels work together. In PLCS, we share success. 

Certain teachers ARE favored! ]]> 2017-04-16 12:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465485 jessica_mcgrath87 https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465532 Principal is the only observer.

In some ways, my school is related similar to Marsha's Laid Back School 

1. Large percentage of free and reduced lunch 

2. Coworkers are close friends outside of school 

3. Many meetings end being socializing time 

4. Much time is spend about teachers problems- not necessarily student data and student work ]]> 2017-04-16 13:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166465966 jessica_mcgrath87 https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166466103 1. Staff meetings: Have a protocol that offers more structure so teachers can focus, have less time to socialize 

2. Coach can work with grade levels to review data (Help create a goal and focus for the grade levels) 

3. Coaches can provide protocol for PLCs (We don't have one and everyone does something different

4. Individual coaching for teachers who need support (Like me!) ]]> 2017-04-16 13:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_mcgrath87/gv2rcpjd3eyl/wish/166466103
