It will be great to be in a group of other educators that share my same passion for teaching a trade. It will also be important to have a diverse group so we can all learn from each other.

4 PLC frameworks to consider:
1) An inclusive framework
2) The science of learning framework
3) Data informed framework
4) Research based framework
I'm still grappling with how this might work in my current context. Yet I guess I'm better to speculate my next professional situation. I hope to be in a position with a group of dreamers who still believe in educating students and enjoying the trade. My favorite PLC times have involved wildly innovative ideas and means of implementing them. These have generally created a venue for embracing student difference in approching projects and community events that allow all members to contribute. In the world of CTE, it seems open houses, public demonstrations, classes where students teach peers and community members, and other means of drawing the real world into the school have great potential. Further, the reality of gaining certifications seems more likely with staff collaboration.
