The colonist had many grievances leading up to the American Revolution. I would have to say that just before it began that disputes over the post war taxations was the last igniter. The boycotting with the Boston Tea Party and the British response to this act, started the motion to war. I would say along with the taxation that Great Britain's control over colonial trade with the Navigation Acts and Staples Acts was another great motivator for the colonists towards war for their freedom. I would say these points combined with the crown's overall ruling of the colonies triggered the war, as Pauline Maier said, "it began with the massive failure of British statesmanship." That statement jumped out at me. Great Britain brought it on themselves.If I was involved in the American Revolution I would have definitely been a Patriot and done what I could to support the cause, even as a woman. Great Britain was being a tyrant to the colonies, treating them like they were less worthy than the citizens living in Great Britain. The colonists all came to America searching for freedom of something and after the French and Indian War they found themselves being controlled and treated unfairly by the country that was supposed to defend them.In reading the Declaration of Independence, a statement that jumped out at me was, "He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed lives of our people." This stood out to me because these acts were done by their own country. I also found it interesting that the grievances are all directly made to the King himself. The key grievances were that the king had refused to agree to laws, forbid governors to pass laws, only agreed to laws of forming districts of people if they gave up right of representation, he paid off judges, sent officers to harass them, sent standing armies without their consent during times of peace, rendered military independent of and superior to civil power, he cut off their trade to the world, he imposed taxes on them without their consent and at times denied them a trial by jury.

Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience. A Professional Learning Community (PLC) is defined as a group of educators that meet regularly to share expertise and work collaboratively to improve the learning of all students. Most school environments implement PLCs to provide an opportunity for grade level teachers to work together through the assessment cycle, analyzing student performance data, and determining strategies to improve instruction for students. It is critical for this collaborative analysis to include all students, including those who are above, at, and below grade level, to ensure instruction is stimulating and challenging. For this field experience, interview a K-3 teacher with PLC experience who has worked collaboratively with a team of teachers to analyze student data, determine appropriate intervention strategies to support all learning levels, and monitor learning progress to demonstrate growth during learning. In addition, interview an instructional coach or administrator who has facilitated a PLC. While some states may refer to this community in a different way, the goals are similar.  In your interviews, ask the following questions: ? How does your school implement PLCs? My school implements PLCs by separating us into PLCs by our GBE (goal based evaluation) goal. We meet once a month to go over research we’ve found and review things we have tried.  ? What do you focus on during the PLC meetings? During PLC we focus on improving our ELA teaching skills. We also focus on making the best use of our ELA curriculum. ? How do PLCs support collaboration with colleagues to identify common curriculum goals and evaluate progress towards the goals? PLC’s support collaboration with colleagues by putting together a group of like minded individuals with common goals.  ? How would you change or modify PLCs?I would not change or modify PLC. We meet once a month- I think that’s the perfect amount. ? What is the biggest change you have seen in student learning since you started collaborating with other educators? The biggest change I have seen in student learning since I started collaborating with other educators is my self awareness. I am much more self aware of how I’m teaching and preparing for lessons.  Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
