The Professional Learning Communities model is increasingly recognized as the most powerful strategy for sustained, substantive school improvement. This one day experience will allow  district staff to explore PLCs and to build their knowledge base.

As staff delve into the three big ideas of a PLC—focus on learning, build a collaborative culture, and results orientation—they will gain specific, practical, and inspiring strategies for transforming the school or district into a place where all students achieve at high levels.

Tim Brown will present a general keynote session setting the stage of the PLC journey to increased student achievement. Breakout sections allow participants to gain an understanding and appreciation of the three main ideas of a PLC while allowing for questions, reflection and collaboration.
