Todays Task

• Discuss these questions with your PLC
• How much time (hours) will we spend collaborating
  this year? Is there a way to increase our
  collaborative time? Where, in our PLC, is this
  outside collaboration already occurring?
• How is our PLC work manifested in our classrooms?
• Is our PLC in the Knowing stage? Or the full
  cycle of Knowing-by-Doing, Reflecting, and
  Re-Doing? If not what has to happen to get us
  there?
