What is a PLC?
Professional Learning Community
“The very essence of a learning community is a
focus on and a commitment to the learning of
each student.”
~Learning By Doing DuFour, DuFour, Eaker & Many
Professional

Developing COMMON FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENTS
Focus on Student Learning!
A Professional Learning Community is NOT:
A program to be implemented
A package of reforms to be adopted
A step-by-step recipe for change
A sure-fire system borrowed from another
school
One more thing to add to an already cluttered
school agenda
A Professional Learning Community IS:
A reduction of isolation for teachers
Shared responsibility for the total development
of student success
Data driven
Commitment to the mission & goals of the
school & district
A culture shift
Planning for High

La Grande School District Mission
Statement
•
In the La Grande School District we believe every student can learn and
deserves a safe, motivating, and challenging school environment.
•
Therefore, it is the mission of the La Grande School District to provide a learning
environment where educators work collaboratively to ensure that each student
maximizes their learning. To accomplish this mission we will use best practices and
data to ask and answer:
•1.
What do we want our students to learn?
•2.
How will we know what students have learned?
•3.
How do we respond when they don't learn?
•4.
How do we respond when they do learn?
