When school leaders foster a culture of frequent, specific recognition, it creates an environment for collaborative teams to function at high levels. In this edWebinar, Drs. David Chiprany and Phillip Page will discuss how celebrating the “right work” of professional learning communities (PLC) stimulates the culture shift necessary for successful PLC implementation. Using intentional celebrations, K–12 leaders can improve collaborative team performance, resulting in higher student achievement.

How can teachers make everyday student learning more engaging, meaningful, relevant, and interesting? How can we better prepare students for a lifetime of learning? Author and experienced educator Elliott Seif uses real-life examples to explore four key goals of a lifelong learning education, and introduces a practical instructional framework that fosters student success and helps prepare students to become independent lifelong learners.

This webinar will answer these questions based on empirical testing of coaching programs implemented in ESL/ELD, dual language, K–5 general education—and 6th-grade to 12th-grade math, science, social studies, and language arts classrooms in middle and high schools. We encourage coaches, teachers, and school leadership to attend this webinar together so you can launch your program immediately!
