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.”
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.

Online reservations“Without a doubt, this was the best conference I have been to in my 22 years of teaching. The presenters were knowledgeable and approachable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, the conference was extremely organized and ran like a well-oiled machine. Thank you!”
“This was the best conference I've ever been to, and I've been teaching for a long time. I was excited to get back to school and share with my team. This not only validated work we have done so far, but also helped provide the direction of where we need to go next.”
“As usual, Solution Tree provided another outstanding conference. Each time we attend a PLC event, we leave very excited about the school year and invigorated about teaching. Great job again!”
“The energy passed on from the speakers was incredible. The information presented made you literally stop and think . . . Why are we not doing this?”
