On-Your-Feet-Guides
This guide provides a quick reference for developing strong and effective PLCs through the “plus”: YOU. Supporting you, as a teacher, is the goal—as you build your individual and collective efficacy, hold high expectations for all students, ensure equity, and ultimately guide learning for students and for your colleagues.
The collaborative work of the PLC+ should leverage teachers’ individual efficacy into collective teacher efficacy. Honoring each of these beliefs requires deliberate practice and intentionality.
