Workarounds Described

• Fills out intense PLC document before meetings covering student data, standards, misconceptions, etc., during weekend lesson planning time
• Uses PLC meeting time to work through logistics of reteaching instead of planned agenda

Implied Software Gaps

• Flexible meeting management that accommodates agenda changes and tracks follow-up actions
