WCSD PLC at Work® Institute (Dixie Convention Center)

Collaborative teacher teams are the engine that drives a professional learning community. When these teams are highly engaged in the right work, student learning accelerates. When they are not, learning sputters and stalls. Because teachers traditionally must attend grade-level or departmental team meetings, schools often mistakenly assume that merely renaming these gatherings “PLC time” represents teacher collaboration. The act of meeting does not make a team, but instead, simply a group.

Participants in this session:
● Assess if they are currently part of a group or a team.
● Review the essential work of teacher teams in a PLC.
● Learn how to navigate team disagreements successfully.
● Leave with specific action steps to improve your teacher team.
