Why we do what we do~

Greetings to all! Hope you are enjoying your summer, and have taken some time for yourself and your family! As we draw closer to the beginning of our 07-08 school year, I hope you are preparing your mind for all of the thinking we are going to have to do concerning our professional learning community. I know that when I think of PLC, that's really what I think of: I'm going to have to really decide why I teach, and what I need to do to become a better teacher so that my students become learners! On a positive note, I'm actually very excited to do that. I always feel really crummy when I'm teaching without purpose. I hope that we can all use this blog as a tool for collaboration and a resource center for PLC ideas. This is a quick place to share your feelings and ideas, and get feedback from others. Would you like to share the things that you are worried about as we start our endeavor towards a professional learning community? I know that although I am really excited about the theory behind PLC, I am a little nervous about how it is going to be played out amongst us. Will everyone jump on board? Will some be anti-collaborators? Will our norms really help us to form a good group? What do you think?
