Superintendent Bakersfield City School District
Dr. Rob Arias

As we continue our journey towards becoming a highly efficacious professional learning community (PLC), many teachers have shared with us the excellent work transpiring across the District. The PLC framework provides the structure and processes to build teachers’ collective capacity to achieve common goals though their commitment to helping all students learn at high levels. Teachers work interdependently to systematically address the four guiding questions of the PLC:
• What do we want students to learn?
• How will we know if they have learned it?
• What do we do if they do not learn it?
• What do we do if they do learn it?
The four guiding questions challenge us to reject the status quo and commit to our fundamental purpose; we exist so all students can learn at high levels. The ongoing cycle of continuous improvement is essential to how we help all students succeed because it requires us to constantly seek better ways to achieve mutual goals.
