Solution Tree recently recognized Mountain Vista Elementary School as a Promising Practices Professional Learning Community at Work for its success in raising student achievement. The district’s commitment to implementing the PLC at Work process has been a major contributing factor in making a visible, positive impact on student learning.
PLCs are schools and districts in which educators recognize that the key to improved learning for students is ongoing, job-embedded learning for the adults who serve those students. The three big ideas of a PLC call upon educators to:
1. Focus on learning
2. Build a collaborative culture
3. Create a results orientation
Responding to news of the recognition, Fillmore Unified School District Superintendent Christine Schieferle expressed gratitude to all staff at Mountain Vista School for their commitment to raising student achievement and creating a positive school culture. Mountain Vista School is working as a collaborative team and focusing on student learning. We look forward to continued growth and student success.
Promising Practices schools are recognized for building a strong foundation based on the PLC concepts, implementation of these concepts for at least one to two years, and clear evidence of improved student learning over that period. Once measurable results can be seen, the school must explain its practices, structures, and culture, and submit its application for consideration by the PLC Review Committee.
