A Collaborative Culture with a Focus on
Learning for All
72. The 3 Big Ideas of
Professional Learning Communities
ā¢ Ensuring That All Students Learn
ā¢ Creating a Culture of Collaboration
ā¢ Having a Focus on Results
73. 4 Key Questions of PLCās
ā¢ What exactly do we want all students to learn?
ā¢ How will we know if theyāve learned it?
ā¢ How will we respond when some students donāt
learn?
ā¢ How can we extend and enrich the learning for
students who have demonstrated proficiency?
74. A PLC is a Commitment to
Continuous Improvement
75. Participation in the PLC process is
not reserved for those designated
as leader.
Rather, it is a responsibility of
every member of the organization.
76. āA team can make better decisions, solve more
complex problems, and do more to enhance
creativity and build skills than individuals
working alone. . . . Teams are not just nice to have.
They are hard-core units of the production.ā
(Blanchard, 2007, p. 17 as quoted in Learning By Doing)

77.
78. āTeams bring together complementary skills and
experience that exceed those of any individual on
the team. Teams are more effective in problem
solving, provide a unique social dimension that
enhances work, motivates, and fosters peer and
internal accountability.

108. āThe greater danger for most
of us lies not in setting our aim
too high and falling short; but
in setting our aim too low, and
achieving our mark.ā

Proclaimed by People Magazine to

friend of Americaās public schools.

ā¢ Connecting the dots between their quality of life
and the success of their schools.
ā¢ Ideology must change. We are in a different
world and must teach our children differently.
120. What is Driving the Public Away from
Public Schools?
ā¢ We are compared to not just each other,
but everyone in the world.

ā¢ It was Japan. Now it is Finland.
ļ¼54,300,000 students in the USA
ļ¼737,000 students in Finland
ā¢ So, whatās the problem?
ļ¼Finland has 1.3% the student population
of America

Does it mean public schools are failing?
Who asks you after you tell them where you graduated
from college:
āWell, how many years did it take you?ā

It took me 8 years to earn my Bachelor's Degree!
3 years for A.A. in California
