Superintendent outlines districtwide PLC work to align teaching and prevent students from "slipping through the cracks"
Summary
Superintendent Ingrid Colvard led a work session on the book Leading PLC's at Work Districtwide, explaining six assumptions for district alignment, weekly staff collaboration time, and the goal of consistent instruction across classrooms.
Superintendent Ingrid Colvard led the board through the introduction to Leading PLC's at Work Districtwide, emphasizing that the PLC initiative aims to prevent students from "slipping through the cracks," rely on data, and support ongoing instructional improvement. Colvard listed six assumptions that guide districtwide PLC alignment, including "Superintendent Leadership Matters," "Clarity Precedes Competence," and the need for reciprocal accountability among leaders and teams.
Colvard told the board that SCSD staff have over an hour each week to work on PLC efforts during Wednesdays’ early-release time for students, and that building the work into regular collaboration time helps sustain practices beyond any single leader. She encouraged the board to consider norms and a board self-evaluation to better support the district's PLC direction.
