The idea of PLC's is as beneficial to individual teachers as it is to individual students.Accountability to one another as professionals should act as a ballast throughout the school community.Poor practices will be discarded more rapidly.

With PLC's, we as learners, will have a whole group of people's ideas to pull from rather than just our own thoughts. We become accountable to each other to ezpand our own thoughts and processes. As we grow, our teaching should become more effective and challenging for our students.

PLC's will enable us to use our existing in-house professionals and resources to enhance our teaching practices which will affect our student's learning. (kindergarten/speech response)

Third Grade PLC: There is power in numbers! By working together collaboratively, we have more tools to work with in order to ensure student success. The more support we provide a student, the more likely they are to succeed. When we listen to each other and hold each other accountable for our actions, we will ensure that struggling students receive additional time and support!

As a new teacher, I have experienced how you can learn from those around you. I am excited about forming Learning Teams at YES! I believe it can help teachers and students alike.

PLC's will provided an up "LIFT"ing experience for our flight crew reducing our level of mental "drag". In just our meeting today, we are becoming more of a cohesive unit (team), in effect "fueling" student learning, creating "Clear Skies".

As educators when we expand our knowledge we then can pass that knowledge on to our students. It is our job as educators to ensure that our students have the rudimentary skills in order to be successful in 21st century communities. As teachers we are life long learners and the PLC’s will enhance our professional development. (Preschool PLC)

YES EC PLC TM: We feel that PLC's promote collaboration among faculty members and enable us to learn from each other. It eliminates isolation of teachers who are not part of a grade level team. It will enable us to share strategies and ideas to enhance student learning.

We feel very lucky to have a chance to network with such good teachers in our school as we fly the new plane. This process will broaden the communication with our entire school. We are onboard!

Working collabortively to design lesson plans and utilize resoucres will enhance the levels of student learning. Also providing time for reteaching and enrichment is essential for higher level of success.

Seventh grade thinks... We look forward to PLC helping address not only lesson planning, curriculum, and grading standards, but also intrinsic student motivation. Any ideas? We're listening...

SASSI+ONE believes that our PLCs will help us pool and use resources that could otherwise slip our minds. Frequent face-to-face contact will remind us that we are not an island, but rather a county in a state (YES) in a nation (YCS) that is part of a global community (USA). We hope that our time together will re-inspire and reinvigorate us as mentors. Perhaps a healthy and happy staff environment across the country can cut down on our massive turn-over in our profession. We need to help everyone maintain our initial zeal for helping the students!
