Repeat Process
An ongoing process in which educators work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve.
PLC’s operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for students is continuous, job-embedded learning for educators.

Teachers must work collaboratively rather than in isolation.
Teachers must agree on the essential learning all students must acquire.
Teachers must agree on how students will demonstrate their learning.
Teachers must assess their individual and collective effectiveness on the basis of the evidence of student learning.
With your team, use your
curriculum and tools to
determine what essential
standards you will teach.
Be sure each team member
agrees to guarantee mastery of
those standards for all of your
students.
Discuss what the essential
standards mean to be sure all
instructors are teaching to the
same target.
