Professional Learning Communities at Work®

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.

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

This highly interactive two-day workshop lays out a framework for small schools or schools with singleton teachers to collaborate meaningfully in order to help students learn skills that really matter. Following a seven-step framework, you’ll learn how to develop a schedule that allows for effective teaming for all, determine collaborative essential outcomes, set SMART goals, and monitor progress throughout.

Ensure your school district is doing the right work, the right way, for the right reasons. In this highly interactive workshop, Janel Keating will demonstrate how to align the work of every PLC team districtwide—from the boardroom to the classroom.

Maria Nielsen helps teams see the big picture of a PLC and put it all together in a recurring cycle of collective inquiry. The 15-day challenge is a practical way to bring the PLC process to life.

In the first session of the Mind the Gaps series, intervention expert Mike Mattos will discuss the three essential academic outcomes of an effective multitiered system of support and four critical actions that leaders should take to embed these supports in the school’s master schedule.
