PLC Summit 2023
We sent twenty BCHS staff members to Solution Tree PLC Summit February 28-March 2 for professional learning, and it was a success!
Professional Learning Communities at Work® remains the undisputed, research-affirmed process for sustained, substantive school improvement. Despite the ever-changing landscape of education, the three big ideas and four critical questions central to transforming your school or district into a PLC at Work keep educators focused on the right strategies and daily practices that get results.
The three big ideas:
- A focus on learning
- A collaborative culture and collective responsibility
- A results orientation
The four critical questions
- What do we want students to learn?
- How will we know when each student has acquired the essential knowledge and skills?
- How will we respond when some students do not learn?
- How will we extend the learning for students who are already proficient?
BCHS uses the learning from training like the PLC summit to support our teacher collaboration that intentionally focuses on student learning and growth. We are happy to have another cohort of trained staff to help continue our work with collaboration, intervention, and supporting our learners!
