    Three Big Ideas of a PLC

    Big Idea 1: Focus on Learning: College and Career Readiness Standards, curriculum. Big Ides 2: Collaborative Structure: cooperative Learning, community Involvement. Big Idea 3: Results Orientation: Assessment, Data.

    Why do we have a shared vision of district-wide PLC’s?
    A shared vision shows where we want to go and what we will be like when we get there. Vision gives shape and direction to the organization’s future.

    Why should we collaborate?
    Quality teaching is not an individual accomplishment, it is the result of a collaborative culture that empowers teachers to team up and improve student learning beyond what any one of them can achieve alone (Carroll, 2009).
