//The Beginning: (//Communication/Collaboration)
==In an effort to change the culture of the school district, the PLP initiative was put in place. Two groups were created from this​ initiative - one at the elementary level and another at the high school. To further this initiative, a district-wide book study on 21st century learning was implemented. The book, Global Achievement Gap by Tony Wagner, was chosen. ==

//The Vision// (Creativity)
Our PLP saw the opportunity to implement the Ning network to increase membership and collaboration for those who were not able to meet regularly in a face to face manner.

=**// Action (Communication/Collaboration/Creativity) //**= ==Our PLP group has met with the curriculum office to discuss the creation of a Ning to be used by the staff. The curriculum office was excited by the idea of being able to collaborate with the staff using the Ning. == ==The Ning will have sections for each grade level and, then, further divided by the different curriculum areas. Language arts and math will be the first two areas we will start on. ==

==We are planning to implement the Ning project district-wide at various staff meetings in the spring of 2010 and fall of 2010-2011 school years. ==
