—Evaluating Professional Learning Communities: Final Report
An APQC® Education Benchmarking Project
An APQC® Education Benchmarking Project
The Professional Learning Communities at Work™ process is increasingly recognized as the most powerful strategy for sustained, substantive school improvement. This institute gives you and your team the knowledge and tools to implement this powerful process in your school or district.
For three days, you will have the opportunity to network with some of the most insightful minds in education. The presenters, all educators who have successfully led schools through the PLC process, are accessible to you throughout the event.
The program includes time for questions during the breakout sessions, a panel of experts to address questions from the audience, and time for teams to reflect and seek the advice of the presenters. At the end of team time, you will focus on next action steps, with presenters on hand to guide you.
For those just beginning to explore PLCs, this is an excellent way to build your knowledge base. For those who are already involved in deep implementation, this institute is the perfect opportunity to revisit your mission, introduce new team members to the process, and get answers to new questions.
As you delve deep into the three big ideas of a PLC—focus on learning, build a collaborative culture, and results orientation—you will gain specific, practical, and inspiring strategies for transforming your school or district into a place where all students learn at high levels.

“I have so many things to take back to my team! The sessions were really excellent and worth the trip! I have lots of new ideas that I have presented to my principal already.”
“Very informative conference! My school team was energized and walked away with concrete examples of how to expand our PLC process.”
“I learned so much about implementing PLCs in my district. This conference gave me all of the research and evidence to show how PLCs impact learning, not only for the students but for the staff as well.
“The keynote speakers were wonderful, entertaining, inspiring, and informative. The audiovisuals were great, location spectacular, and the accommodations were superb.”
