2nd Grade PLC Norms:
Let it Go! (5 min.)then Choose to Be Present
Focus on the BIG Picture
Assume positive intent & keep an open mind
Maintain ownership of all students
Be mindful of the time- Bobbie will be our timekeeper-
Code word when we stray for norms Meanwhile.
Understand that learning is a process, not an event.

Characteristics of a Highly Effective PLC:

I. What do students need to learn? (planning instruction)
II. How will we engage them so they learn best? (planning instruction)
III. How will we know when each student has learned? (development and analysis of
assessment)
IV. How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning?
(interventions and developing and analyzing formative assessments to see if the interventions
are working and how we need to flexible group students and not keep students in the same
interventions)
V. How will we respond when a student clearly has mastery of the learning
standards? (enrichment developing learning activities and accelerate learning opportunities
for students who have demonstrated mastery of the content)
