​

​

​

Reflection

​

Think about a time when you were a part of a highly-effective team.

​

What made it an effective team?

• Jot down 3 bulleted points

Asynchronous Learning

​

​

​

​

​

Read “5 Characteristics of an Effective

School Team”

• Silently reflect on the text and your bulleted points from your effective-team experience.
• Apply your reflection to this context and make a commitment for today and tomorrow.
• Knowing your Team PLC, what will you personally focus on to support your Team PLC’s effectiveness?

Call it a purpose or a mission--it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that those who attend never feel like they’re just obligated to attend “another meeting.” The purpose is relevant, meaningful, and clear.�

​

PoP Statement Criteria

​

A PoP Statement is:

• Clear and concise
• What specifically are we trying to accomplish?
• Goal oriented
• How will we know that a change is actually an improvement?
• Is it actionable? How?
• Is it measurable? How?
• Meaningful
• Will it result in an improvement? What improvement?

Cross-Team PLC Consultancies

​

​

​

​

​

​

• Team A presenter shares Team’s PoP, Inquiry Q, relevant background and the focus (dilemma) for the Consultancy while Team B is silent and takes notes. (5mins)
• Team B asks clarifying questions. Team A presenter responds with BRIEF answers AND can elicit support from their Team to answer. (5mins)
• Team B asks probing questions. Team A presenter MAY respond or just reflect on the question AND can elicit support from their Team to answer. (5mins)
• Team A “sits back” in silence and scribes the discussion. Team B talks with each other about the dilemma presented, discussing what they heard, raising questions, surfacing assumptions, adding new insights and even offering suggestions. (10mins)
• Team A “re-enters”, shares any insights gained from discussion. (5mins)

Repeat protocol for Team B presentation

​

2 rounds of Presentations (30mins EACH, 60mins TOTAL)

Team PLC Discussion

​

• What did I hear?
• What questions were asked?
• What questions do we need to explore?
• What ideas/recommendations emerged?
• What ideas and recommendations do we need to discuss, explore or research?
• What does this mean for our work tomorrow?

Be aware of air time and equity of voice.

The Hill We Climb

And yes, we are far from polished,

far from pristine,

but that doesn’t mean we are

striving to form a union that is perfect.

We are striving to forge our union with purpose
