ISTE Standard 5
Engaging in Professional Growth and Leadership
Sometimes with working with seasoned colleagues is they are
going to do things their own way or they are up for new things. PLC’s are
somewhat challenging as it is as they are always pressed for time. My team PLC
sometimes never have enough time to reflect and discuss lessons we are taught
or will be teaching. I feel now that now more than ever to possibly use
technology to use effectively use our time. With technology, we can review
results and do check-ins where we are and spend more time discussing teaching.
Which led me to this question: How can I exhibit leadership
in infusing technology within our professional learning communities?
PLCs can be a wonderful thing when not limited to just discussing one
subject at a time. I feel like as soon as we get into a great discussion, it is
cut short. Having a system in place like a shared document could possibly
assist in analyzing data prior to our meeting so we can discuss what worked and
what didn’t work.
Additionally, it would be nice to be able to share information with multiple
schools that teach the same content area. This information would seem to be
more valuable in that we can see what schools are doing that are making them
successful. Though, It can also show schools that are not.
Hi Conrado,
ReplyDeleteDid you forget to include the link for your resource? I couldn't open the link as well when you posted in the "shared resource" discussion thread. I really like the idea of sharing information among schools that teach the same content area, and would love to see what resource you've found!
Conrado,
ReplyDeleteI agree! PLCs are always a battle. Whether its for time, face to face meeting opportunities, or teammates willing and wanting to collaborate! I really like the idea of a shared document to have a mutual meeting "spot" to share ideas.
Thank you for sharing!
