<p>This product consists of two books combined together. PLC 2.0: Collaborating for Observable Impact in Today's Schools and the PLC 2.0 Toolkit: Tools and Protocols for Observable Impact. Schools across the globe have invested time, effort and resources into creating collaboration time. And while the research on educators collaborating to examine and improve their practice is clear, the practice of educators working together and the impact this has on changing the learning experience for students is less conclusive. PLC 2.0 moves districts and schools beyond research to PRACTICE and OBSERVABLE IMPACT--the type of impact that we can observe in our classrooms. This book will take all educators through the various aspects of the PLC 2.0 Observable Impact Model, provide them with practical tools and protocols developed to enhance their collaborative time, and make them leaving confident their collaborative time is finally making an observable difference within classrooms, buildings and school districts!</p>

<p>In order to make grading and reporting practices more meaningful and appropriate, schools must design core instruction to reflect both academic standards and specific academic and behavioral targets that clearly indicate what students must know and what they must be able to do. The authors experience shows that taking this approach positively impacts teaching and learning.    This six-page, quick-reference laminated guide is designed to help schools move beyond standards to target-based grading and reporting. In 13 clear steps, it walks collaborative teams through the process of: Prioritizing standards and breaking them into specific learning targets; Creating assessments that accurately measure the relevant standards and learning targets; Designing and delivering instruction that specifically addresses learning targets; Administering and analyzing assessments; Reassessing when there is evidence of new learning; Reporting proficiency levels against learning targets using a summative scoring rubric. The guide includes examples of proficiency scales, proficiency targets, progress trackers, and summative rubrics.</p>
