Definition of Collaboration
Collaborate means to work jointly with others, especially in an intellectual endeavor
PLC Logic Model
Building strong professional learning communities – focused on improving instruction, curriculum, and assessment – will result in increased teacher collaboration and an increase in the use of effective instructional practices in classrooms, leading to improved student achievement.
Building vibrant
Professional Learning Communities (PLC)
Increased school collaboration focused
on improving instruction & student learning
Changes in School and Classroom Practices
Improved Student Outcomes

Cultural Shifts in a PLC:
A Shift in Fundamental Purpose:
From a focus on teaching To a focus on learning
From emphasis on what was taught
To a fixation on what students learned
From coverage of content To demonstration of proficiency
From providing individual teachers with curriculum documents such as state standards and curriculum guides
To engaging collaborative team in building shared knowledge regarding essential curriculum
“Learning by Doing” by Solution Tree
Change Process:
Professional collaboration is successful when:
There is substantive, intellectual discourse focused on improving instruction
There are defined norms and protocols There is a culture of publicly sharing our work It results in publicly questioning assumptions, and
trying on new lenses to solve problems It allows for differences in a respectful manner
What Does Professional Collaboration Look Like? Looking at student and teacher work Text-based discussions Rounds or lab classrooms (peer observation) Interdisciplinary teaching teams Creating common assessments & rubrics Refining curriculum Data-based inquiry groups Lesson study Instructional leadership teams

Overview of the PACE Tier 2 year
Cross-district Professional Development Institute
Five-day QPA Institute over the course of the school year beginning in fall 2015 for a PACE team. Participants will learn the performance assessment process, create strong performance assessment tasks, and gain skills to lead assessment system development in their schools. (The institute will be held on-site at participating districts to be determined in consultation with districts.)
Blended Learning Modules
These online modules work in tandem with QPA Institute days to provide a dynamic and complete learning experience. The modules are designed to provide customized learning experiences for educators in between the in-person QPA Institute days, while enabling Tier 2 districts to use the modules with faculties in participating schools. The scope and sequence is based on individual district need.
Coaching For each Tier 2 district, a CCE coach will provide up to eighteen coaching days to reinforce and apply learning from the QPA Institute throughout the district.
Leadership PLC
A forum for district and school leaders, facilitated by the CCE coaching team, to discuss the leadership role in building an assessment-literate district. (One-hour virtual meeting, scheduled periodically every 1-2 months)
16
Expectations for Participating Districts:
The district Tier 2 leads will be expected to participate in monthly one-hour Leadership PLC virtual sessions (by phone or web platform) with CCE to share practice about the leaders’ role, coordinate the Tier 2 work, review district feedback, and make any needed mid-course corrections.
The district creates a plan, with CCE assistance, for building assessment literacy for all teachers in designated schools by the end of the school year and ensuring that the appropriate people participate in the support activities.
The district team that attends the institute, listed in your PACE application to NHDOE, must be consistent and include at least one central office administrator and participating school leaders.
Each classroom teacher in all participating schools will engage in creating at least one performance task to be potentially field-tested in their classrooms in the spring.
