Absolutely fabulous day of learning with the administrators and executive staff of Moore County Schools, Aberdeen. NC. Thank you! @solutiontree @moorecountyschools #atplc #plcaw

Again...amen brother. #EduSky #Assessment #Grading #Education #EduChat #atplc #3rdBase

Traditional grading practices often fail today's learners.

Real change starts in the middle not at the extremes.

It's time to reform assessment practices to be equitable and reflective of all students, not just those born on 3rd base.

I love this type of journal! And, I keep it in a 5 year journal book. When I entered my one sentence for January 28th, I could see the 3 other sentences I wrote for the past 3 January 28th's. Reminding me of some of the battles or wins at this time of the year as a teacher! #joy #atplc #wellness

The joy story of your teaching life unfolds one scene, one day, one week after another. Winter represents a season of heavy lifting. What will you do this week to seek joy in these long days when the end (late May) seems so far away? #Joy #atplc #WellnessJourney

What an honor to meet Ms. McCall. Her ❤️felt message of co-creating classrooms where ALL Ss belong was a blessing.🙏

"The school that actually does the work of a PLC will develop its capacity to help all students learn far more effectively than the school that spends years preparing to be a PLC."

"It is important, however, that leaders do more than prompt a staff to take new actions: they must consistently communicate the underlying rationale to support the action."

"People who are determined not to act can always find a reason to justify inaction."

Rick DuFour

When teams become the focus of celebration and every team feels it too has the opportunity to be recognized and applauded, schools begin to move away from a culture of internal competition and toward a sharing culture.

"Educators who hope to build PLCs will focus less on writing mission statements and more on demonstrating their missions at work through their day-to-day actions."

"The problem is not that we do not know enough -- it is that we do not do what we already know. We do not act on or refine or apply those principles and practices that virtually every teacher already knows."

"Consequently, I believe learning in schools becomes energized and likely to spread to out-of-school time only when young people have as many opportunities to pose and address their own problems as they do to grapple with problems posed by teachers."

"What would happen if a school took seriously the goal of promoting profound levels of learning and graduating students destined to sustain prodigious levels of learning over their lifetimes?"

"Clearly the most basic graduation requirement, then, is that our students leave each grade and each school imbued with the qualities, dispositions, and capacities of insatiable, lifelong learners."
