__//New PLC Goals for the 2011 - 2012 School Year://__
 * SMART Goal ** ( ** S ** pecific, ** M ** easurable, ** A ** ttainable, ** R ** ealistic, and ** T ** imely):
 * **Goal#1 To develop common assessments in order to provide consistency among teachers in each discipline and increase student outcomes**
 * **Goal #2- Lessen the achievement gap between 'Partially Proficient' and 'Proficient' students**


 * == __Agenda for June 2011 Meeting Wrap Up:__ ==
 * == We met as a committee the day after our school presentations ==
 * == as a school, a committee, an administrator (Miller/Monks) all were very impressed at the work and the research that came out of plcs ==
 * == Now that we have a handle on it, we're told It's now time to take it to the next level with a focus on new goals, how they are measurable, and student outcomes ==
 * == For next year you can continue to work in same PLC or create a new one if you're work is done ==
 * == Each month we will meet in the MRC to work together and those who choose to work elsewhere may, but will need to sign out with names and room numbers for accountability ==
 * == Meeting in MRC will also help those new faculty members to get a handle on what PLCs are all about, and help them find one to join ==
 * == The purpose is to also take a moment for one or two groups to share their ideas, what's working for them and what's not, so they can get faculty feedback ==
 * == Any more particulars will be shared at our first meeting in September ==
 * == See goals for next year above ==
 * == Thanks for doing such a great job by putting your heart and souls into your PLCs this year, it was a job well done! ==
