In this webinar, Mike Mattos will make the case that during these challenging times, it is more important than ever that we stay focused on the bottom line—student learning! And the best way to sustain this focus is through an unwavering commitment to the essential practices of the PLC at Work® process.

The focus is to show how your urban school can make an impact on student achievement and change the trajectory of student lives using the time available during the day, the resources in the book, and the Brilliance in the Building - your amazing staff! The greatness of this webinar is the review of all the resources in the book available for educators to use immediately. I created all of the reproducibles based on 25 years of extensive research and actual use in schools. Leaders and staff in urban schools cannot do this work in isolation; they must work together to accomplish their goals, so therefore the work in this book is grounded in the PLC at Work principles. Let’s go!
