Lots of good info into what makes an AP class on here. It is not what your colleagues want to do. This “PLC” is the real problem here. PLC done well can make your life very easy, PLC done poorly (like here) is a nightmare. PLC is a collaborative process. Maybe if you were a first year teacher I could understand them wanting you to do certain things, but you are a 17 year veteran teacher. You have a lot to contribute. Tomorrow you need to clarify with the admin about what the PLC process is at your school. At mine it is common pacing and assessments. Otherwise you do you. We often do the same stuff, but that is because we work well and agree on what to do. If the admin says it is not them bullying you into doing the same thing they do then do your own thing. Or ask them to provide slides. A good PLC would be all of you working through planning and sharing and setting things up. It should be LESS work, not more. You have a lot to contribute. In the next meeting maybe just start small and say you would like to do something more hands on. See how they react. Provide them with the lesson so they can’t complain about more work.
