Professional Learning Communities (PLC's)
PLC's start with a group of 2-8 teachers who meet regularly as a team to identify essential and valued student learning, develop common formative assessments, analyze current achievement, set achievement goals, share strategies, and then create lessons to improve upon those goals (Schomoker, 2005).
