  Professional Learning Community
  
  PLC'S have become of upmost importance in many school districts across the United States. One of the missions behind PLC's is the main focus and goal of student learning. Teachers and other individuals that work in education gather and discuss essentials of student learning such as: what will the student learn, how will they learn, and what can be done to intervene in case a student demonstrates difficulties in learning. This type of collaboration ensures student successful learning, campus improvement, the removal of barriers to success, and the focus on positive student learning results.
  
  Currently, in my school we are participating in this initiative of Professional Learning Communities. It is fairly new to us, yet I along with my colleagues have willingly accepted and embraced this program. We are in the beginning phases of collaborating in this program and so far it has been of great help. Within our first meeting we have collaborated and discussed many different ideas on how we can ensure our students are learning and also what type of interventions we can offer those students that have difficulty learning. All in all, I personally am very excited and anxious to see how much these collaborations will help our students, the school, and our school district.

  My initial response to Jessica Garcia's Article Post- I think there is great benefit to PLC's. There is so much knowledge that needs to be communicated to teachers, and these meetings seem to be a great way to have that occur. On the one hand PLC's provide teachers with the needed resources and district mandates that need to be implemented in order to be in compliance. Teachers from a common department come together and plan their instructional calendars, lesson plans, learn new systems, and voice their concerns or provide others with the knowledge of their own innovative workshops or relay workshop information they've learned.

  @ Jessica Garcia- That PLC time becomes extremely valuable when you have a well-oiled machine backing up your meetings. However, on the flip side I have been to PLC meetings where it seems like no one has any mutual respect for each other, and not much but arguing seems to occur. I think that in order to take effective advantage of PLC time, teachers must learn to follow a structured PLC calendar, and respect each other's voice.

  @ Jessica Garcia- Professional Learning Communities (PLC's) have become the norm at school districts around the country. The first time that I ever was a part of an actual required PLC was about two years ago. At first, I did not like the idea behind PLC's because I would much rather work on my own, and receive online trainings from the comfort of my own classroom. However, I have learned that it is critical that teachers from mutual departments come together
