**EFFECTIVE USE OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES**

 * DEFINITION**

A PLC is composed of collaborative teams whose members work interdependently to achieve common goals linked to the purpose of learning for all. Their collaboration centers around certain critical questions.


 * KEY COMPONENTS**
 * What do we expect all students to learn by defining learning targets?
 * How will we know if and when they've learned it by focusing on results through frequent common formative assessments?
 * How will we respond when students don't learn by using data collection and interventions to meet student needs?
 * How will we respond when students have already met the learning targets by continuously learning and applying best practices in teaching for all students?
