Book excerpt: "In Mathematics Unit Planning in a PLC at Work, Grades 6-8, authors Sarah Schuhl, Timothy D. Kanold, Jessica Kanold-McIntyre, Suyi Chuang, Matthew R. Larson, and Mignon Smith provide grades 6-8 mathematics teachers a framework for collectively planning a unit of study. As part of the Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series, the book helps teams identify what students need to know by the end of each unit and how to build student self-efficacy. It advocates the PLC at Work process for increasing mathematics achievement, and as teams answer the four critical questions of a PLC, they provide students with a more equitable learning experience. The authors share tools and protocols for effectively performing collaborative tasks, such as unwrapping standards, generating unit calendars, determining academic vocabulary, utilizing and sharing self-reflections, and designing robust units.
