Flagstone is a PLC: A school-wide system of teacher teams that collaborate on issues of instruction, assessment, and other school topics with the goal of improving student learning. 

In our PLC work, we will address the six PLC questions:

1. What is it we want our students to know?
2. How will we know if our students are learning?
3. How will we respond when students do not learn?
4. How will we enrich and extend the learning for students who are proficient?
5. How will we increase our instructional competence?
6. How will we coordinate our efforts as a school?

Our ongoing professional development will help us to operate as an effective PLC:

1. Focus on Learning
2. Collaborative Culture With a Focus on Learning for All
3. Collective Inquiry into Best Practice and Current Reality
4. Action Orientation
