As a leader, I feel using data and research helps motivate teachers. Through the PLC process, teachers have protected time to look at data, identify essential standards, share best practices, identify strengths and weaknesses by student, by classroom, and by grade level. Teachers and administrators can then use the data to drive decisions and instruction. It is my role, as a leader, to provide the data and research to the teachers so they may maximize their PLC time and continue to do the great things they do to help all students succeed.
Nice start on your blog. Glad to hear that you find the PLC process is so powerful.
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteI like the nod to Doc Buchanan in your title. I think it would be cool if you tied some of his "Doc-isms" into the content of your site to spread his wisdom to others.
