EVENT COMPLETED
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.

- 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

- 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
