Birchview Elementary showcases PLC literacy rotations and aims for 100% of students to meet goals
Summary
Birchview Elementary staff presented Professional Learning Community (PLC) work focused on 5th‑grade literacy rotations and an ambitious goal that, by May 31, 2025, 100% of students meet PLC‑determined literacy benchmarks.
Birchview Elementary staff delivered a school‑spotlight presentation to the Wayzata Public Schools Board outlining Professional Learning Community (PLC) work centered on literacy rotations for 5th grade.
Principal Ashley Farrington described the site goals and PLC structure; the presentation included a stated academic goal: "100% of students will meet literacy goals as determined by each PLC’s skill focus based on grade‑level standards by May 31, 2025," and detailed a daily/weekly rotation plan that combines whole‑group instruction, targeted small‑group skill practice, independent reading and intervention windows. Dana Miller, executive director of teaching and learning, was listed as the administration liaison for the presentation.
Presentation materials showed how PLC teams use common grade‑level assessments, track essential skills by unit, and flex group students for Tier 2 intervention. Administration emphasized collaboration among classroom teachers, special education and English‑learner staff in a push‑in model to align instruction and interventions.
