I deliver the curriculum with efficiency, consistency and effectiveness, achieving excellent results for my students.

Our vision will remain in the forefront of our meetings, reminding us to always provide a climate in our classrooms that fosters thoughtful and respectful consideration of all viewpoints.

During our second Bear Creek visit, I observed the English Language Arts Professional Learning Community also known as ELA. When I first heard about the PLC, I was surprised because it is a brilliant concept. I never knew this existed. The English Language Arts PLC ran smoothly because the teacher that was presenting knew the standard she was going to focus on and how she was going to present the content to the students.

In all practical terms, this will mean finding new ways for each of my students to learn in their own particular way. As a whole, my students will need more reason to learn with authentic experiences, hands-on

Successful PLCs involve having student data. The data does not need to come from tests, but it can come from student work or from observations. Through PLCs, the teachers should grow as an educator, and the students should benefit from it.

Discuss how you collaborated with school staff or administration to plan for professional development in the area of need identified in part A.

This time is used for various types of professional development. We meet every Friday from 8:05 until about 9:20, unless we have a planning week for conferences or other special projects. The district also does four whole day professional development sessions throughout the school year. These sessions usually happen on a Friday, so the children do not miss out on a full day of school. All district staff a required to be in a professional learning community (PLC). In our PLCs we work on a topic or areas of our teaching or classroom that we feel is a weak area. The group members work to plan ways to improve the lacking

From the very beginning of the course, teachers should begin to analyse their learners through initial assessment methods. The assessments best suited to guide improvements in student learning are quizzes, tests, writing assignments, and other assessments such as a group activity. These can easily give the teacher/tutor an insight into the learning needs of the learners. Also

determining if teaching was effective and to determine how appropriate modifications and adaptations can be made to improve future instruction (Dreyer, 2014:7).
