Embark on a journey to take your PLCs to the next level! In this engaging session, we'll map out a route to guide your Professional Learning Communities into becoming powerful engines of collaboration and student success. We'll start by examining our current reality - the mile markers of where your PLCs stand today. Then, we'll explore new destinations of effective team practices and together we'll chart a course forward, creating a practical plan to elevate your PLCs from wherever they are - whether cruising smoothly or facing detours.

Leveraging Curriculum Resources LIMITED
Monday June 9, 2025 10:40am - 11:30am CDT
Ever feel like you're defending the curriculum instead of using it as a powerful tool? Let's change that perspective! Just as a road trip becomes smoother with a good map, teaching becomes more effective when we understand and use our curriculum guide.  We don't need to fight against the curriculum. When we all use it as a guide, it becomes a powerful tool that unites our efforts and enhances our ability to meet student needs. By the end of our journey, you'll see the curriculum not as a valuable resource that empowers proficient teams and supports those who are struggling.
