PLC Planning Notes

Directions: Use this menu to help you set an agenda for your weekly PLC meeting(s). Below are some general guidelines:

A 45 minute PLC meeting should include at least one but no more than three of the “menu items”
Over the course of a quarter, you should do each type of meeting at least once.
Consider making a month long plan for your meetings, keeping in mind how your planning needs shift over the course of a unit

McGarry and I will do labs on the same day; Schweizer, Wuu, Boettcher will do labs same day then every
Unit Planning 1 teacher can do the lab on the same day with all their classes.
2/3 of Cindy's on level is 0/1 in math and 7 honors students are 0/1 in math; Everyone will check their lists
looking for target students. Math Instructional Goal: For all students with a specific focus on Hispanic
students receiving FARMS support to be able to interpret mathematical expressions, show supporting
SLO planning evidence in their work, and explain their own reasoning.
