= ** We discussed that it takes a village to teach a child. For instance, every child has a different way of learning; one person does not have all of the solutions to every answer. When you have a multitude of people and points of view you will be able to find an answer to every problem. Having different points of view and different perspective for every solution will not only help lesson planning for the student’s different learning styles, but also for classroom management strategies. The more resources or strategies the teacher has, the more the teacher becomes prepared for the classroom.  We think that PLC groups are wonderful; we like the idea of different teacher’s points of view and we think that teachers should take the time to work together. The teachers in our current placements usually do this during a 30 minute lesson time, or during the out class. It is important to have a meeting, but the teacher’s day is already long and so it would be hard to continue their day with more items to do. But, when you meet with people and starting putting resources together your planning becomes a lot easier. Teachers can share planning, and lesson plans so the entire grade is learning the same thing. ** = = **PLC groups are important for teachers to take place in because they can share strategies on how they have noticed their students learning, and what is working for their students. They can also discuss what did not work for their students. The teachers bring different perspectives about learning including learning styles and learning styles.** =
