The 3 Levels of Ignorance
Level 1-Things you “know.” Level 2-Things you “know you don’t
know.” Level 3- Things you “don’t know you
don’t know.” But an innovation expert thinks there
might another dimension or level.Level 4- Things you “don’t know you
know.” Stephen Shapiro

Teaching as a Subversive Activity Postman and Weingartner
« There can be no significant innovation in education that does not have at it’s center the attitudes of teachers and it is illusion to think otherwise. »

Change is like 2 elephants mating
It's done at a high level.
It's accomplished with a great deal of roaring and thrashing.
It takes two years to produce results.

What are the connections between this scenario and an
effective PLC?

A few questions
Do teachers collaborate already? Do
teachers entering the profession feel
that they belong to a community
within a school board? Within the
school? Do YOU collaborate?

And a few more…
Let’s talk about the same thing; how does a collaborative culture translate into action in your reality?
What are some concrete examples of how to CREATE and not only form Professional Learning Communities? How? Why? When? What are they!?

My thoughts!
A Professional Learning Community is enhanced by and is further developed by a level of collaboration based on a reflective dialogue: meaning a dialogue about pedagogy, learning, teaching and students.
A climate of mutual respect increases the level of growth amongst teachers.
Mutual respect is conceptualized as follows:

CREATING A PLC
Creating a PLC based on a collaborative culture is not a simple « check-list »…it is a non linear , constant challenge - and a passion!

Do I have to answer this question? No one told me we'd be asked this question. It is not on the agenda!
Hmmm, I don't know. What do you think? Maybe we should ask the others. By the way, that is a lovely glass. Did your mother give it to you?
Is the glass half empty ? half full?
![Page 33: PROCEDE 2014- PLCs what and why](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032619/55c4a367bb61eb22578b47a9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Is the glass half empty ? half full?
33
Well, due to the irregular shape of the glass, a guess based on a visual cue would be inaccurate. Hmmmm why don't you do this: Make a mark on the glass (make sure you mark it at the bottom of the meniscus), then pour the contents into another, bigger, glass……
Are we going to fool around with glasses all day? I've got a party to go to at 4:45!

Working together is not enough-you have to structure collaboration within your PLC

1. Consider the composition of the PLC.2. Invest in the team! (affective before cognitive).3. Create interdependence within the PLC.4. Identify the collaborative skills necessary for completing the task.5. Reflect on the process as well as evaluate the group product.

Apollo 13
Confronted with a challenge never faced before, and with limited resources and time, the team has to react!
Success or failure will have a direct impact on many people.
Apollo 13 astronauts were quoted saying « Failure is not an option » « Let’s concentrate on what we have and not
on we de don’t have! Let’s work together! »
