The 15-Day Challenge: Putting All the Pieces of Daily Life in a PLC at Work® Together Workshop

Your school is committed to building a professional learning community—but how do you sustain the work of PLCs throughout the year? Through this two-day interactive workshop, you will discover a 15-day challenge that has helped schools across the nation strengthen their PLCs. Join expert Maria Nielsen as she shares how to jump-start the work of collaborative teams and bring the PLC at Work® process to life in classrooms, schools, and districts.

Participants will:

• Clarify the work of collaborative teams
• Develop collective commitments for each team
• Establish steps for a guaranteed and viable curriculum
• Determine short and long-term SMART goals
• Recognize how to use depth of knowledge (DOK) levels to teach and assess at the rigor and complexity of the standards
• Complete a 15-day pacing guide for a unit of study
• Establish a learning–assessing cycle for a unit of study
• Anticipate and plan for Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions as the unit is planned
• Design a plan for taking the 15-day challenge back to your entire school or district
• Acquire a toolkit of templates and organizers to take back to your school
