Strengthening Your PLC at Work for Lasting Change: The Way Forward
Salt Lake City, Utah | April 15–16, 2026
Schools are being tested and burdened with an unprecedented variety of issues. They face academic challenges, social-emotional hurdles, and political and funding uncertainties. Adding to this pressure is the dire need for teachers during a record shortage, which means schools are now tasked with balancing urgent recruitment to fill vacancies and rapidly developing the skills of a new generation of educators who are learning while they lead in the classroom. Now more than ever, schools need to take a second look at their PLC efforts and learn how to fully benefit from collaboration. This workshop will help participants realize that our profession's greatest resource is the human resource. This is not the time to shy away from the PLC at Work process; this is the time to press forward.
- Teams learn the history of the PLC at Work movement and the evolution of the public school promise.
- The PLC at Work process is essential to repair and advance the field of education.
- Teams work together to assess their current reality against the essential "tight" elements of the PLC at Work process using specially designed rubrics and surveys.
- Teams learn the importance of a strong guiding coalition in the implementation of the PLC at Work process.
- Teams conduct a gap analysis of their current practices compared to the practices of a PLC at Work and design an action plan for improvement upon their return to school.
