Researchers and practitioners alike agree that schools will not achieve high levels of learning for all students until improvements are made to school culture. Recent events, including the global pandemic, teacher wellness, staff absence, and the national teacher shortage have made it crystal clear that people matter more than programs and systems.

Schools are being tested and burdened with an unprecedented variety of issues. They face academic challenges, social-emotional hurdles, and political and funding uncertainties. Adding to this pressure is the dire need for teachers during a record shortage, which means schools are now tasked with balancing urgent recruitment to fill vacancies and rapidly developing the skills of a new generation of educators who are learning while they lead in the classroom. Now more than ever, schools need to take a second look at their PLC efforts and learn how to fully benefit from collaboration. This workshop will help participants realize that our profession's greatest resource is the human resource. This is not the time to shy away from the PLC at Work process; this is the time to press forward.
