Build school culture where learning thrives

“After several months of research and dialogue with practitioners throughout the nation, it became apparent that the hype was real. PLCs . . . are being used by schools and districts of all sizes and demographics to make significant impacts on student achievement.”

Evaluating Professional Learning Communities: Final Report
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. Presenters 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. During 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 assess your progress and identify high-leverage next steps for implementation, 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—a focus on learning, building 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.

"The information was applicable and helped me to leave with some specific goals in mind for the PLC groups I am involved in directly, as well as some ideas for our all PLCs across our district."

Rachel Nichols, district office, Catoosa County GA, Georgia

"The best part of a Solution Tree event is that every single session and keynote is tied together under the umbrella of the topic at hand. It all focuses around PLC - no one goes to a session different than the rest and comes back with left field ideas or information. The message is tightly delivered and helps us to bring focus to our work as well."

Stacy Winslow, district office, Derry Township School District, Pennsylvania

"The breakout sessions were a great compliment to the larger questions that were posed during the keynote speeches."

Sharonda Frazier, principal, International Community School, Georgia
