Description

In small rural schools, only one agriculture teacher, one FCS teacher, one business teacher, one STS teacher and one school counselor exist. So on PLC days, they get lumped together and not enough meaningful work gets done. In our local regional area, we created area Personal Learning communities or PLCs.We now have groups of area agriculture teachers, FCS teachers, business teachers, STS teachers and school counselors that meet quarterly. Each group is guided by the four key questions: What do we want our students to learn? How do we know if they have learned it? What will we do if they don’t learn it? What will we do if they have already learned it? But each group takes their own unique approach to answering their questions. Come and find out how each group formulates their own learning and how one group wrote and received $100,000 in new equipment for their program.
