"The PLC process is built around four questions to build collaboration and maximize learning for all. The fourth of these questions is often neglected: What will we do if they already know it? Many educators struggle to continue learning for students who have excelled beyond what the curriculum mandates. Thankfully, authors Mark Weichel and Steve Pearce with their book What's Next? Monthly Extensions to Challenge Proficient Students in a PLC have created a comprehensive resource for educators to integrate question 4 into their instruction. Each chapter introduces one preassessment to help teachers determine which students will require extensions for a given unit and one strategy to further the learning of these question 4 students. Concrete examples from a wide range of content areas and grade levels illuminate how these strategies work in practice. The strategies are designed to be tested over the course of a month, so readers can decide at the end of the year which methods are best for their schools or classrooms. What's Next? moves educators past the mental block of tackling question 4 and helps them actually start doing it"--
