Becoming a high-performing, sustainable professional learning community
In this 3-hour workshop we will draw on research into professional learning communities (PLCs) to explore the characteristics of high-performing PLCs and strategies that support PLCs to become self-sustaining. Using the key features of effective PLCs, participants will undertake a gap analysis to help them determine priorities for strengthening their team as a PLC.
