Professional Learning Communities at Work®

Professional learning communities (PLCs) are schools that empower educators to work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve.

At the heart of the PLC at Work process are four critical questions that drive the daily actions of every team member:

1. What is it we want our students to know and be able to do?
2. How will we know if each student has learned it?
3. How will we respond when some students do not learn it?
4. How will we extend the learning for students who have demonstrated proficiency?

RTI at Work™

RTI—also known as a multitiered system of supports (MTSS)—is a systematic process that helps ensure all students receive the time and resources needed to learn at high levels. Built upon the PLC at Work framework, RTI at Work is the best answer we know to Critical Questions 3 and 4.

Work with our RTI at Work associates to develop and sustain:

• A coherent and viable core curriculum that embeds ongoing monitoring for all students
• Immediate and targeted interventions systematically applied and monitored for any students not achieving
• Intensive interventions focused on closing gaps
