nergy, clarity, intention! These are all words that come to mind when I think of the 15-Day Challenge process. This is a great opportunity for your team to refocus their energy on the simplicity of the four critical questions. Master teachers have always asked: 1. What do we want our students to know and be able to do? 2. How will we know if they know it or not? 3. What will we do if they don’t understand? 4. What will we do if they do understand?

The Slippery Slope The four critical questions of a PLC are often looked at in isolation. They may feel like separate year-long initiatives rather than an ongoing cycle of collective inquiry. The first year is centered on the mission, vision, values, and goals. Committees may be formed to wordsmith the mission statement. Once the task is complete, all are satisfied with a mission statement worthy of vinyl lettering in the school colors on the wall. The following year is spent unpacking standards and putting them in a Google file, sorted into priority and supporting standards.

Four Critical Questions to Life Maria Nielsen

The next year, teams come together to write common assessments around essential standards. These common assessments are also saved to the team drive. Then, during year four, the school puts together an RTI (response to intervention) committee to come up with a modified schedule to embed RTI in the school day. While all of these things are excellent ideas and the work of a collaborative team, teachers often see these as separate initiatives, something extra they are being asked to do. They often feel that a better use of their time would be to spend their collaboration time back in their room prepping for tomorrow’s lesson. What If . . . What would it look like if teacher teams felt like their work each week was aligned with what they want students to know and be able to do? What if they created units of study embedded with essential standards, and common assessments were used as fresh data to determine if their students knew the standards or not? What if looking at those common assessments informed teaching practice in a formative way? Teachers, could you embrace this process if it felt authentic and timely to you?

Here’s How The 15-Day Challenge brings all the elements of professional learning communities together in one unit of study. And it is a process that can be used whether your school has been implementing the PLC process for a while or you are new to the concepts of PLCs. Simply follow these steps. 1. Identify standards, targets, and skills for the unit of study. When completing this the first time, select succinct standards and targets rather than long-cycle standards and targets, such as: + + + + + +

Measurement Parts of a sentence Multi-paragraph essay Water cycle Plants Parts of the brain

2. Create the unit assessments. + Create the end-of-unit assessment. Begin with the end in mind! + Next, create the common assessments to be used throughout the unit of study. 3. Complete the 15-Day Pacing Chart (see example).

Unit Design When designing the unit of study based on standards and targets, bring everything from your file cabinet or computer files to the team table. This is critical so that all team members will collectively design lessons using the best ideas and materials for students in the course or grade level. Based on the 15-Day Pacing Chart, write lesson plans together. While planning the initial lesson design, gather materials and plan for Tier 2 intervention and extension groups. Tier 2 Plan when and how skill-specific interventions and extensions will be embedded in the school day. Ideas include trading students among teachers when they teach the same course at the same time or scheduling a time during the day when all students are in Tier 2, such as flex time or WIN (What I Need) time. Ensure that all activities and materials for Tier 2 time are planned and ready in advance so that students may be placed quickly in skill-specific groups. You are now ready to teach, assess, intervene, extend, and move all students forward in a well-planned, systematic manner. Stay in the boat together and row to the island of student mastery.

EXPERT

& QA How does this plan book help teams collaborate more effectively? We really wanted to create a book that teams could sit down and work on together. It’s very flexible—it’s designed in a way where each collaborative team can take it and individualize it. In addition to the planning pages, the book also includes big-picture concepts, which are great for when educators need a quick reference, a refresher, or some food for thought around a particular topic. The reality is that educators can’t pay attention to everything. They must commit their time to things that are essential. This book is about focusing on the right work and taking action. Will both new and veteran teams benefit from using it? We believe that everyone can benefit from this book. If you’re a brand-new team, for instance, then you will likely find the Year at a Glance section particularly helpful, as it will help structure your work. If you’re a new team member, you might not fully understand “the why” behind certain actions, but the plan book covers these topics. For experienced team members who already have a good part of the process down, the plan book provides helpful tidbits and insights, as well as reminders, new considerations, and common pitfalls. Does this book help teams identify essential standards?

Kim Bailey, author

Chris Jakicic, author

work collaboratively and build consensus as a team. Once essential standards are identified, they can go back and look at state test data and any blueprints available from their state. This way they’re able to really determine whether their students will be prepared for the next course and grade level, as well as for state tests. This work is powerful. And teams that have gone through the process really see the benefit. How does this book fit into the current educational landscape? We’re in a unique situation in education right now. In our view, the three big ideas and the four critical questions of PLC at Work are really going to be the key to getting schools through this time. Teams that have been functioning as a PLC report that they are really seeing its true power during COVID. They’re able to have collective efficacy, put a laser-focus on their work, and continue to impact student learning.

Absolutely! There are a variety of protocols in the plan book. First, the collaborative team will sit down together to review all the standards— whether they have 50, 60, or even 90 plus—and then use the criteria listed in the book to determine which are most important. The key is that educators

IMPLEMENTATION After identifying the need for a more collaborative, transparent culture to do what’s best “for all our kids,” Quitman Assistant Superintendent and K–12 co-principal Michael Stacks, and K–12 co-principal Julie Wallace worked with Solution Tree associate Regina Stephens Owens to strategically establish a guiding coalition comprised of representatives from every grade. This ensured that all educator voices were brought together and heard, applying the district’s mission, vision, values, and goals to all district functions, from hiring to scheduling to making financial decisions. Formerly elementary and high school principals respectively, Wallace and Stacks decided to share a K–12 co-principal position as one of the many commitments to the larger collaborative culture.

RESULTS The district now operates under a more streamlined and inclusive, collaborative environment. For example, an educator who is best prepared to teach a particular strategy or concept may welcome students or instructors from other grade levels or subjects to benefit from her expertise in that area. Quitman has seen a 16 percent growth in enrollment, and staff turnover is down. In addition, overall student achievement has increased. In two years, the district saw 100 percent growth on math and English language arts assessments for grades K–2. In addition, Quitman High School had the 12th-greatest overall growth on ACT Aspire among all high schools in Arkansas.
