Principal Professional Learning Communities
A plan for enhancing member connectivity and learning
The following protocol has been developed to assist principals in earning continuing education credits (CEU) as part of the re-licensure requirement created by the Minnesota Department of Education. This research-based initiative supports the MASSP vision of enhancing connectivity between members and expanding the intellectual capital of the organization.
Principals may earn six CEUs each year by being an active member of a Principal PLC, provided that the following guidelines are followed.
1. A formal application for a Principal PLC can be made by completing the information on the Principal PLC template and submitting it to the Executive Director of MASSP before October 31. Principals are encouraged to create natural PLC groups based on MSHSL conference assignments, geographical location, duty profile (head principal, middle school principal, assistant principal etc.), or education delivery model (high school, middle school, alternative programs etc.). In general, a PLC should contain at least four members and meet at least four scheduled times a year for at a minimum of 90 minutes each meeting.
2. An agenda must be established for the year along with learning goals. Topics may be general in focus and may include research (Marshall memo or book study), legislative initiatives (bullying, teacher evaluation, college and career requirements etc.), innovative programs (assessments, closing the gap etc.) and general program analysis and reflection (school tours, guest presenters). A general list of proposed topics must be included in the PLC application, but specific meetings agendas can be developed over the school year based on member needs and emerging issues.
3. For accountability reasons a designated member of each PLC must take accurate attendance at each meeting and submit those attendance records, along with a record of meeting notes to Renee LeForte of MASSP by June 14. PLCs are encouraged to schedule at least 10 hours of meeting time each year in anticipation of absences so that all members meet the six hour minimum requirement.
Based on BOSA guidelines, the Executive Director will issue CEU certificates to PLC members who have met all guidelines for certification by June 30.
Contact Renee LeForte for the PLC application at renee@massp.org or call 612-361-1510.
You will need to send a copy of final agenda items, attendance log, and CEU application after your last meeting to Renee LeForte by June 14. MASSP will then submit your application to BOSA for final approval.
