Thousands and thousands of districts across North America and the globe have spent time, effort and resources over the last two decades to create embedded time within the school day for educators to collaborate. And while the research behind professional learning communities collaborating to improve their teaching is clear, the application of professional learning communities and collaborative time can be foggy for educators at all levels of the system. Join us for the FREE 45 minute webinar on how to take your PLCs beyond the four most notable questions that PLCs typically discuss. The 5th question is what collaborative teams can use to more closely explore their teaching practices to ensure success in all classrooms. Come learn how to take your PLCs to deeper levels!
