Staff Development for teachers on professional learning communities, writing team norms, creating common assessments, and making an action plan for intervention.  Teachers will meet as a PLC and come up with 8-10 essential skills for math from the curriculum documents to create common assessments.  I will help video sessions to use as evaluation tools.

Survey Data
After common assessments have been given teachers meet and analyze data.  Based on common assessment data teachers will make changes to instruction, participate in teacher observations and decide which students need targeted intervention.

  2. I think this is an excellent research project. We implemented PLC's at our school 3 years ago and it has had a positive effect on our intervention sucess.

  4. We've been using a data analysis cycle like this. Our data was online so the teachers had to learn a new skill to look up their data and that was a bit of a snag. This looks really good. I hope you have a positive experience with the PLC model. I agree with Lindsey that it can have a powerful positive impact on the school.

  5. This is a excellent plan. With your teacher survey, you may want to create a reminder email that is automatically sent to each teacher on the date or two dates before the survey is due. You know teachers tend to forget or mislay the paper somewhere, but with a two day heads up email they'll find time to fill it out and/or find it.

  6. I really can't find anything to improve or change. Everything looks really good to me. I really the follow up survey and the common assessments components of your project. Also, your timeline is really good and flows from task to task nicely. Everything has been ordered thoughtfully. I like! Good luck!

  7. Your plan is very comprehensive and thorough. Step 2 of your plan is crucial for the success of the PLC. You have included everything from the staff development to setting the group norms to the video used for evaluating the sessions - all wonderful steps to create a positive, successful experience. Best of luck with your research!

  8. What a great plan. Very thorough. Are you going to do the surveys electronically? That would be less paperwork for teachers (and you) to have to keep up with. I am more apt to complete a survey online with a reminder than having to keep up with a piece of paper. There are lots of online surveys you can use for free! Good luck. It looks great.
