Are your PLC’s instructional practices happening—or do you have evidence that they are happening?
The 10-Minute Instructional Pulse Check is a quick, practical reflection tool designed to help PLCs pause, examine their current instructional practices, and identify one area for focused improvement.
Rather than relying on what teams think they are doing, this pulse check encourages PLCs to look for evidence of key practices, including the use of exit tickets, common formative assessments, and corrective instruction plans.
Use This Tool to:
Reflect on current PLC and instructional practices
