    One math PLC team's vision: turning students into persistent problem solvers. 90% were proficient so school vision emphasized rigor #atplc

    Note: that math PLC spent 2 hours collaborating to set that mission. Collaboration takes time! #atplc

    @jagkise @cjakicic What would you say is the minimum amount of time per week teams should be given to focus on collaboration? #atplc

    #atplc Minimum is 45 minutes to one hour per week. Teams should establish a work flow so that each meeting builds on the previous meeting

    @mctownsley Big job but I see teacher motivation increase when they know, "We have enough time to teach what students need to learn" #atplc
