Schools should be led by a traditional leadership team that focuses on the management side of the house, AND they should also be led by a guiding coalition that focuses exclusively on the PLC processes. You can have 2 separate teams, or 1 team with a split agenda. @SolutionTree

We ❤️ this quote from @mikemattos65! The school improvement journey is never an easy one. If you embrace the change despite the difficulty, you're already on the right track. #atPLC #education #k12

Champs v Challengers Underhand Throwing with 2nd grade. Challenger throws the 1st beanbag to champion hoop. If they get it in, challenger becomes the champ. If champion gets it in 1st, challenger gets back in line. Thanks @pe4everykid #physed

Often singletons teach the only class that keep some students interested in school. This checklist helps those teachers know how the PLC process applies to them. #atplc
To help busy educators with steps to move the PLC process forward, use this checklist from Singletons in a PLC at Work. Some items apply to traditional teams, and some are specific to singletons. Feel free to customize! bit.ly/3z8EYG7

School is coming - time to refresh “Why PLC?” with teams & singletons. They may need support for HOW to do the process, but don’t overlook going over WHY? & facilitating that important discussion. It is so helpful! #atplc #plc4ar Below are my reasons. RT any you’d add

Schools with one teacher in a grade level/department are faced with the challenge of creating guiding coalitions that support principals to lead the PLC processes. Leane and Yost’s incredible book help guide small schools and singletons. @BrigLeane @Jon_Yost @SolutionTree #atPLC

Traditional leadership team agendas typically have a number of various (unrelated) agenda items. Whereas, guiding coalition agendas exclusively have PLC-related topics. Collaborative teacher team agendas center on the 4 critical questions. #atPLC @SolutionTree #guidingcoalitions

Change can’t be dictated. When it is, it’s temporary & evaporates after that leader leaves. True cultural change requires collaboration, communication, & commitment. Leaders can’t tell subordinates to change. They must model the necessary behaviors of change. #atPLC @SolutionTree

Traditional school leadership teams are hierarchical. Guiding coalitions are organizationally flat. Guiding coalition members serve as equals. Guiding coalitions lead change. Both structures are required to successfully lead schools. One manages; one leads. #atPLC @SolutionTree

PLC culture building must precede PLC foundation building. The process takes time, patience, and commitment. Implementing PLC concepts and transforming school culture is complex work. It takes a guiding coalition to lead the transformation. #atPLC @SolutionTree
