Atlantis Professional Learning Communities will be used as our means of improving our lesson planning and instructional effectiveness while focusing on standards-based instruction. Focus: We will grow in lesson plan development to include extended thinking strategies, vocabulary, and summarizing (school-wide instructional strategies). Year 2 2014-2015: Our expectation this year is for instructional staff to plan and implement seven lessons together (by grade levels) on a standard of their choice and applicable to the pacing and sequence. After the implementation, teacher teams will review student products and informal assessment to determine the effectiveness of the shared lesson.

This will be the key for teachers’ to increase the use of highly engaging instructional strategies therefore, keeping students actively engaged in their learning. The administrators realize with the implementation of the Florida Standards, teacher-to-teacher and student-to-student discussion plays an integral part in instruction and learning acquisition. In visible learning: a synthesis of over 800 meta-analysis relating to achievement, hattie states that the simplest prescription for improving teaching is to provide “dollops of feedback.” As 2014 FCAT data reveals the need for improvement in all content areas, we plan to increase our feedback about effective instructional practices.
