    IS THERE A BETTER WAY? –
    PLC AT WORK® (1998)

    Critical Friends
    Group
    WHAT IS A CRITICAL FRIENDS GROUP?
    “A CRITICAL FRIENDS GROUP (CFG)
    BRINGS TOGETHER FOUR TO TEN TEACHERS
    WITHIN A SCHOOL OVER AT LEAST TWO
    YEARS, TO HELP EACH OTHER LOOK
    SERIOUSLY AT THEIR OWN CLASSROOM
    PRACTICE AND MAKE CHANGES IN IT.
    AFTER A SOLID GROUNDING IN GROUP
    PROCESS SKILLS, MEMBERS FOCUS ON
    DESIGNING LEARNING GOALS FOR
    STUDENTS.”

    (1997) CIUSHMAN, K., “NETWORKS AND ESSENTIAL SCHOOLS: HOW TRUST


    ADVANCES LEARNING, HORACE, VOLUME 13(1)
    CRITICAL LIMITATION OF CRITICAL FRIENDS GROUPS (CFG)

    “CFGS EXERTED MINIMAL INFLUENCE ON TEACHERS’


    PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE. CFGS WOULD
    BENEFIT FROM REGULAR AND SYSTEMATIC METACOGNITIVE
    AND PROCESS-ORIENTED REFLECTIONS TO IDENTIFY HOW
    THEIR COLLABORATIVE PRACTICES MIGHT OPTIMALLY
    ADVANCE THEIR ‘BOTTOM LINE’ GOAL OF IMPROVING
    TEACHER PRACTICE TO INCREASE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.”

    INSTRUCTIONAL IMPROVEMENT AND SCHOOL REFORM , TEACHER COLLEGE RECORD , 110 (4)
    What Is a PLC at Work®?
    “AN ONGOING PROCESS IN WHICH
    EDUCATORS WORK TOGETHER
    COLLABORATIVELY IN RECURRING CYCLES OF
    COLLECTIVE INQUIRY AND ACTION RESEARCH
    TO ACHIEVE BETTER RESULTS FOR THE STUDENTS
    THEY SERVE. PLCS OPERATE UNDER THE
    ASSUMPTION THAT THE KEY TO IMPROVED
    LEARNING FOR STUDENTS IS CONTINUOUS JOB-
    EMBEDDED LEARNING FOR EDUCATORS.” (P.
    10)
    SIX ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A REAL PLC
    1. EDUCATORS WORK COLLABORATIVELY RATHER THAN IN ISOLATION, TAKE
    COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR STUDENT LEARNING, AND CLARIFY THE
    COMMITMENTS THEY MAKE TO EACH OTHER ABOUT HOW THEY WILL WORK
    TOGETHER.

    2. THE FUNDAMENTAL STRUCTURE OF THE SCHOOL BECOMES THE


    COLLABORATIVE TEAM IN WHICH MEMBERS WORK INTERDEPENDENTLY TO
    ACHIEVE COMMON GOALS FOR WHICH ALL MEMBERS ARE MUTUALLY
    ACCOUNTABLE.

    3. THE TEAM ESTABLISHES A GUARANTEED AND VIABLE CURRICULUM, UNIT BY


    UNIT, SO ALL STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME KNOWLEDGE AND
    SKILLS REGARDLESS OF THE TEACHER TO WHOM THEY ARE ASSIGNED.
    SIX ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A REAL PLC
    4. THE TEAM DEVELOPS COMMON FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS TO FREQUENTLY
    GATHER EVIDENCE OF STUDENT LEARNING.

    5. THE SCHOOL HAS CREATED A SYSTEM OF INTERVENTIONS AND EXTENSIONS


    TO ENSURE STUDENTS WHO STRUGGLE RECEIVE ADDITIONAL TIME AND
    SUPPORT FOR LEARNING IN A WAY THAT IS TIMELY, DIRECTIVE,
    DIAGNOSTIC, AND SYSTEMATIC, AND STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE
    PROFICIENCY CAN EXTEND THEIR LEARNING.

    6. THE TEAM USES EVIDENCE OF STUDENT LEARNING TO INFORM AND


    IMPROVE THE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE PRACTICE OF ITS MEMBERS.

    —DUFOUR, DUFOUR, EAKER, MANY, & MATTOS,


    LEARNING BY DOING (2016), P. 14
    Four Corollary PLC Questions
    1. WHAT DO WE WANT STUDENTS TO KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO?
    2. HOW DO WE KNOW IF STUDENTS HAVE LEARNED?
    3. HOW DO WE RESPOND WHEN STUDENTS DON’T LEARN?
    4. HOW DO WE RESPOND WHEN STUDENTS HAVE LEARNED?
