    Here is my link to my table comparing my PLCs. I compared Whiteboards in the classroom and Gaming and the liberal arts.

Todd Anderson-PLC Comparison - 3 views

It was interesting to compare and contrast different aspects of open and closed PLCs. I think that buy in really does impact the effectiveness of PLCs. http://edtech2.boisestate.edu/andersont/597/...

middle school PLC

  • the term has been used "to describe every imaginable combination of individuals with an interest in education—a grade-level teaching team, a school committee, a high school department, an entire school district, a state department of education, a national professional organization, and so on. In fact, the term has been used so ubiquitously that it is in danger of losing all meaning" (DuFour, 2004, p. 6)

      PLC is a buzz word that people like to use, although often times incorrectly as this article points out.
  • The authors of the "Bandwagon" article did not focus much on practices; instead they focused on terminology, structures, and perceptions

      It seems like the authors had an agenda going into their "research" which makes for a very inaccurate or biased article!

      Yay Michigan! Maybe I will have to share this with my principal and see if we have any contacts there or ways to learn from them.

  • The professional learning community concept does not offer a short cut to school improvement. It presents neither a program nor a recipe. It does provide a powerful, proven conceptual framework for transforming schools at all levels, but alas, even the grandest design eventually degenerates into hard work

      Seems like people jump on the bandwagon as a quick patch to use for School Improvement in order to show progress for AYP. Having never given it a true chance, it will not succeed and then the powers that be will jump onto some other bandwagon.

    I compared the differences between and open and closed PLC. From what I found having a closed membership gives the PLC to be more subject specific and a little more in depth with their topics.

    I choose this article because I'm looking for a discussion of how PLCs and PLEs are different. While I think it may be more about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, this did allow me to read more about how social capital plays a role in PLCs.

    This article on PLC's is a good one. It goes over the definition of a PLC and explains why they are now so commonplace in education. I highlighted the key point, "suggesting that when teachers had opportunities for collaborative inquiry and the learning related to it, they were able to develop and share a body of wisdom gleaned from their experience." Because I think it sums up all the reasons why PLC's are now being utilized so often in education. Research has proven that when PLC's are utilized effectively in schools, student learning improves greatly.

    Nice! Chris Haskell just shared a similar tool last week (can't recall name, maybe writeon?) that let's you write or drawn on any webpage, as well as make notes. This tool seems to have more advanced social networking features, however.

  • The I Can’t Funeral started with every student thinking of one thing they either did not feel successful in last year, or that often made them think, “I can’t do that.”  They each wrote their “I Can’t” on an index card.  Then, while playing very sad music, they placed the card in a “funeral box” and said their farewells to their “I Can’ts.”  They buried the “I Can’t” funeral box in Amanda’s car trunk.
  • ude: Give each student a job. Practice procedures. Learn to be a good listener. Have signals to take care of the small stuff. Create a mailbox. Smile and laugh. Be energetic. Say Thank You/Give certificates. Hold an “I Can’t Funeral.” Come up with a class motto or quote. Tell them why they are learning.

  • Amanda used a PowerPoint presentation to introduce her classroom procedures.  After each slide, the class stopped and practiced each new procedure.  Her repeated practice paid off as the procedures quickly become routines for the students.  Without any prompting, the students knew what to do and followed procedures in a responsible manner.
