Professional Learning Communities
Professional learning communities (PLCs) provide the opportunity to engage in collaboration with a community of learners - discussing and making meaning of all learning and experiences in schools and communities. At the close of each semester, following the completion of the PLCs by specialty area and submission of the summative assessments for other sequences, teacher candidates will reflect upon their personal and professional learning during that semester. Teacher candidates will (a) share learning from various school-based experiences, (b) apply learning through completion of summative assessments, and (c) synthesize learning through reflection and discussion related to EUs and dispositions.
