Description: In this session, we will come to a more accurate understanding of PLCs and the process involved, as well as how the PLC can help us work smarter through this time of uncertainty. We will consider how participation in a PLC/PLT can lead to greater teacher job satisfaction and increased student academic achievement. Using classroom-ready strategies, we will explore the three big ideas and four questions of PLCs in order to reflect, collaborate, and build knowledge together. Outcome: Participants will learn what a PLC is and what it is not in order to achieve better results for the students they serve.
Participants will actively participate in a Talk strategy and have a chance to brainstorm how they can adapt the strategy to their classroom. Participants will receive digital copies of the organizers used in the session to use in their own classes.
