PLC Wednesdays
Why do my students finish early on PLC Wednesdays? (often called early dismissal by students) ~ First one on August 30th and every other Wednesday after.
Every other Wednesday, classes finish at 1:00 and our lunch period occurs until 1:45. From 1:45 – 3:10 our teachers gather in small teams of Professional Learning Communities, where they study and investigate ways to improve student learning for the actual students we have now. High-yield instructional strategies, types of common assessments, and areas of common concern are studied by our staff, with the goal of improving student learning. This is very different from the PD on PD days.
The Yukon Education Act mandates 950 hours of instruction each year, and we have organized our school day so that we meet this criteria, with this dismissal time.
The gym and library remain open and supervised for students, and students may also study quietly or do homework in some classrooms. In addition, KDFN is offering cultural drop-in time for any and all interested students. This month? Hand-games! Some students also participate in extra-curricular community activities during this time.
