Identify Preferred Future
Address Reflective Questions
1. What prompted our school to consider implementing a professional learning community? Was it the right prompt?
2. What is the purpose of implementing our professional learning community?
3. What will our professional learning community look like when it’s implemented and operating effectively?
4. Who will lead our professional learning community? Will we always have the same facilitator or will we rotate? Are the people selected to facilitate our PLC chosen because of title, rank, leadership, role within the school? What are the criteria if any?
5. What have we done in the past that might support effective professional learning communities? Etc.
