PLC Priorities & Cycle Information

  • What are the PLC Priorities for MCPS?

    We believe in PLCs as a vehicle for professional growth and continuous school improvement. As a result, the MCPS Building Principal PLC has identified key attributes to effective PLCs across the MCPS district. We refer to these components to drive implementation fidelity as well as our own professional development.
    • Focus on student learning instead of performance.
    • Commit to continuous learning and improvement.
    • Make an impact through the use of data.
    • Use of protocols, clear roles and organization.
    • Emphasis on team process and reflection.
