          Background Information:

          Attached you will find the 2019 PLC Principal Survey Report and the 2019 PLC Activities Summary Report, both created and compiled through a collaborative effort between the Assistant Superintendent of Instruction and Hanover Research.

          The 2019 PLC Principal Survey Report is a summary report on how collaboration time is used throughout the district.  Collaboration and professional learning time provided to teachers and staff district wide consists of a variety of opportunities and is not exclusive to early release days. Scheduled in-service days, early release days, staff meeting time, common planning periods and Professional Learning Community (PLC) time scheduled outside the school day by PLC teams are all examples of times and opportunities staff use to collaborate and receive professional learning activities.

          With this collaboration time data-reporting instrument, and the reports created by it, principals and the District Instructional Team continue to have a consistent and systematic means of collecting data on the types of collaboration projects and professional learning activities occurring throughout district. Results show that the top two uses of this time during the 2018-2019 school year were:

          • Professional learning community teamwork time (i.e. teachers working collaboratively)
          • Professional development sessions.

          The top three specific activities in which teachers engaged were:

          • Teacher sharing of instructional strategies
          • Reviewing and analyzing student assessment data
          • Curriculum planning and preparation

          Additionally, principals identified that the three specific areas that collaboration time had the biggest effects on were:

          • Improving teacher collaborative practices
          • Helping teachers identify students' individual learning needs
          • Helping administrators understand the professional development needs of their teachers.

          Finally, principals shared that the three particular areas most greatly impacted by providing our professional staff with early release, in-service, and collaboration time were:

          • Improved classroom instruction
          • Receiving support from district leadership.
          • Positive affect on student academic performance

          Also attached is the 2019 PLC Activities Summary Report, which details all the various collaboration activities documented throughout the year, broken down by each school site.

          For your reference, the following dates have been selected for early release days for the upcoming 2019-2020 school year:

          Wednesday, September 18, 2019
