Professional Learning Communities at Work®

This recorded edWebinar presents practices that have proven effective in building connections with students who struggle in the classroom.

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged schools to question their assessment practices and grading policies. Are students retaining and applying the concepts and skills of the standards? What can be evidence of their learning? This edWebinar examines how schools can answer these questions and more.

We know the pandemic has significantly affected learning results for students. However, there are ways of working differently in schools that will overcome these deficits and prove that our work in schools can be more powerful than a pandemic! A new mindset is needed to achieve new results.

The impact of COVID-19 will have a lasting effect on every facet of our society. Very few institutions were more disrupted than schools. The pandemic affected staffing, funding, morale, and the continuity of student learning

How does your school respond when students don’t learn? Compelling evidence shows that response to intervention (RTI) successfully engages school staff in a collective process to provide every child with the additional time and support they need to learn at high levels. The goal of this session is to show how the PLC at Work process creates the larger schoolwide framework required to implement a highly effective, multitiered system of supports (MTSS).

Singletons—teachers who are the only ones teaching a specific course or subject—often ask how they can effectively participate on a collaborative team. Additionally, leaders frequently ask what they should be doing to guide and support singletons. This webinar provides participants clear direction to help singletons engage in meaningful collaboration. Teachers and leaders receive templates they can implement immediately.

Learn the dos and don'ts of the PLC at Work™ process from two of the leading authorities on PLCs.

Based on the Common Core Mathematics in a PLC at Work™ series, this webinar describes a research-affirmed, unit-by-unit approach and provides you and your team with numerous tools for a successful Common Core implementation.

Kenneth C. Williams compares and contrasts the PLC at Work™ approach to the new standards with the traditional approach states, districts, and schools have used to implement curriculum.
