PLP 2010-2011

For the 2010-2011 school year, IU12 was invited to send three district teams, representing elementary schools, to the IU13 Powerful Learning Practice (PLP) program by Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach and Will Richardson. This intensive program began in September and culminated yesterday at IU13. I was lucky enough to be a PLP Fellow in the program, and had the opportunity to support Dover Area School District and Cocalico School District throughout the year. Through face-to-face interaction, Elluminate webinars, and a Professional Learning Community (PLC) through a ning, everyone received tons of job embedded professional development, and created many new partnerships.

Yesterday, was the celebration and the presentation of action plans from all of the districts involved. Here are IU12's district team action plans:

• Central York School District - Inspiring Connected Readers
• Dover Area School District - The Change Agent: Communication & Collaboration - Professional Development aligned to the NETS
• Spring Grove Area School District - Extreme Makeover: Lesson Edition - Launching Learning into the 21st Century

Be sure to review their plans and take some time to look at their wikis and materials that they created. All three teams did a fantastic job!
