Accelerating student growth and achievement within the context of post-COVID teaching and learning demands that we leverage our expertise as educators to make decisions each day about what content, ideas, and skills we want our students to know, understand, and be able to do. We make decisions about how much time to spend on specific topics and how frequently to engage learners in that topic. We assess learners’ progress through high-quality assessments and decide when to intervene, on what, and at what level of intensity with each evidence-based activity.

This institute moves beyond learning intentions and dives deep into how best to support the development and implementation of high-quality success criteria. Engage in an active and empowering learning experience that will enhance understanding of how to create and implement high-quality success criteria.

This institute will focus on how leadership works best for instructional leaders by emphasizing the essential mindframes and research to effectively lead teaching, learning and change. This 3 pronged approach will help participants refine current practices to glean the greatest learning outcomes for both staff and students and make the most of the precious time they spend together. 

During this professional learning, we will examine the intersection of Visible Learning research and early childhood education. The Visible Learning research helps us navigate some of the most compelling questions about early childhood education by pointing us to what works best when. Together, we will unpack practical ways early childhood educators, families, and learners can collaborate to implement the Visible Learning research and to grow visible learners from the very start.

When we create a learning community that works together through a collectivist lens of shared accountability with a focus on equity; we begin to see how educators convene around high expectations for learning across all dimensions of identities. Such learning communities are empowered to explore how their collaborative actions and decisions propel learning forward. At this institute, we'll learn culturally fortifying practices for transforming learning communities into equitable spaces for all.

Corwin’s PLC+ Institute provides attendees with a practical and evidence-based framework to support collaborative structures to support planning and implementation of student learning, as well as professional learning (e.g. microteaching, classroom observations) of the teachers and teacher leaders.

Join in as we explore the powerful synergy behind collective efficacy and teacher credibility, and how that power in our beliefs can transform the output of your Professional Learning Communities (PLC+). Within our PLC+, we must combine our collective evidence to ensure a clear picture of our impact on student learning. We must determine if any students are being underserved as well as identify our successes to replicate. Finally, we measure the collective impact of our actions.

Succinct, smart, and swift, this institute's nine learning modules takes you systematically through a process that begins and ends with standards. With abundant cross-curricular examples that span grade levels, planning templates for every step, key professional learning questions, and a PLC guide, you have the most practical planner for designing and delivering highly effective instruction.

Restorative practices are an alternative to punitive approaches to classroom management. These practices humanize the schooling experience and allow individuals who cause harm to make amends.  Restorative practices rely on strong relationships as well as clear systems and procedures to ensure that harm is addressed. The impact is increased equity for BIPOC students as well as a reduction in exclusionary practices such as suspension and expulsion. But as importantly, students change their behavior as they come to understand the impact that it has.  

How do educators and teacher teams develop collective teacher efficacy? In this institute, participants will learn about collective efficacy and how to systematically cultivate it their schools. Participants will be guided through each component of a Collective Efficacy Cycle and will engage in a mini cycle during the institute. Participants will walk away feeling energized and empowered to lead a Collective Efficacy Cycle at their sites.

Successful PLC+ implementation is journey, not an event. There are many challenges and obstacles PLC+ teams will face throughout their journey. One of the core values of PLC+ is Activation and ensuring that adult learning is at the forefront of all PLC+ meetings.

The PLC+ Certification is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and techniques needed to support delivery of PLC+ professional learning in their schools. As a result of PLC+ certification, participants will be prepared to support and lead teams in engaging in collegial inquiry where members share knowledge, observe one another, analyze evidence of student learning, and capitalize and celebrate the collective expertise that exists with the team.

Imagine students who OWN their learning in these terms:  “I know where I’m going, I have the tools I need for the journey, and I monitor my own progress”.  Now think about the extraordinary difference this type of ownership makes in students’ progress over the course of a school year.

Academic learning may be the explicit focus of schooling, but what teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we chose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how our students think, see themselves, interact with content and with others, and assert themselves in the world.  In this session we focus on key social and emotional learning, but we apply it to educators, students, and schools.  In the past, SEL efforts were targeted to students but schoolwide efforts and supporting colleagues is critical.
