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.

For more than a year now, we educators have been tested and tested again. We’ve been stretched, we’ve been pulled, we’ve been put through the wringer. But now it’s time to rebound. It’s time to bounce back, bring back better, and benefit from the many lessons learned to reignite engagement, accelerate learning, and move forward with fresh optimism and better systems for schooling.

The Building Resilience Institute will introduce participants to a multi-tiered framework comprised of best practices that cultivate educator and student resilience in ways that are culturally responsive and trauma-informed. Sessions will also identify next steps for schools and districts to develop multi-tiered trauma-informed supports.

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.

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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a great deal of reflection in schools throughout the nation. As you are aware, in our schools, there were already significant mental health, social, emotional, and behavioral needs prior to the pandemic but students need social and emotional learning now more than ever! How can we determine their needs and where do we begin? This session offers tools and best practice processes for social-emotional learning (SEL) that you can implement immediately in any setting. 

Understanding the foundations of the reading process enables teachers to better understand why reading difficulties arise and how to prevent them. With models of foundational reading in hand, teachers are ready to employ plenty of engaging and effective Tier I activities and routines that move young children towards reading mastery.

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.

Over the past twenty years, the science of learning has provided many insights into how learning works. This body of research provides well established principles and practices that when translated into classroom practices, have the potential to enhance and accelerate student learning. This How The Learning Brain Works Institute provides an easily accessible look at the process for translating research about how learning works into classroom practices that enhance and accelerate your students’ learning.

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. Reimagining schooling through a collectivist lens takes effort when we consider that so much about our current system is grounded in principles of individualism and competition.

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.  

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.

Collective student efficacy— students’ beliefs that by working with other people, they will learn more—can be a powerful accelerator of student learning and a precursor to future employment success. 

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.
