Professional Learning Community (PLC)

PLCs are teams of teachers who work together to clarify the intended outcomes for each grade level, or course, or unit of instruction. These teams then develop common assessments that they consider valid measures of student mastery. The individual teams then jointly analyze students’ achievement data, draw conclusions, and establish team improvement goals.

Our teams at Runyon are organized by grade level with additional certified teachers serving on various teams. Special Area teachers Art, Music, Physical Education) function as one PLC team.

Each team consistently addresses the following four questions:

What is it we expect the kids to learn?
How will we know they learned it?
How will we respond when they don’t learn?
How will we respond when they already know it?
