Secondary Update

Revisiting the PLC Process/Instructional Meetings

The WWMS staff is working hard to ensure that our instructional meeting time on Early Release days is focused around the four guiding questions of a Professional Learning Community: 1. What do we want our students to learn? 2. How will we know that they've learned it? 3. What do we do when they don't learn it? 4. What do we do when they have learned it?

Recently, each team identified some critical issues that were true/not true of their team. The results proved that each of the instructional teams are at different stages in the process. Thus, administration has been working hard to support each of the teams' stages. Ultimately, the goal is for us to create a Professional Learning Community at WWMS.

Wolverine Walk - Somerset Mall Incentive

On Wednesday, November 13, 2019, a total of 34 students earned a trip to Somerset Mall! These students were our "top donors" for our Wolverine Walk incentive. The students had a fun-filled day of shopping!

PLC Review

The staff and administration have spent time in November reviewing the keys to a successful Professional Learning Community. As a building staff we have examined how our teams should function, what the 3 Big Ideas of A PLC are (Focus on Learning, Build A Collaborative Culture and Focus on Results) as well as the 6 Essential Characteristic of a PLC (Shared Mission/Values/Goals, Collaborative Teams Focused on Learning, Collective Inquiry, Action Orientation and Experimentation, Commitment to Continuous Improvement , Results Orientation). Teams have also reflected and looked at their strengths, areas of improvement and needed support from administration. We are in the process of determining what can be achieved in the short term, long term and next year.

Enterprise is finishing its second week of the Second Quarter on Friday, November 15, 2019. The staff evaluated its finalized NWEA scores at the latest PLC at Enterprise. Working together, the staff mapped out some areas of concern with students, and staff will be developing strategies to create lessons that address those learning gaps with individual students.

Two Enterprise students will be joining other Macomb County students at the Diversity Summit which is being sponsored at the MISD on Tuesday, November 26, 2019.

In addition, enrollment continues to climb at Enterprise, as last year's trend continues upward. Enterprise. As the First Quarter has ended and the Second Quarter begins, Enterprise is hoping that ten or more students will complete graduation requirements and graduate in January, 2020.
