Drive collaboration and improve student learning with PLC+

Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) have long been celebrated as a powerful tool for driving collaboration and improving student outcomes. But what if there was a way to take your PLC work to the next level? Your Introduction to PLC+: Building Collaborative Teams That Drive Student Success introduces the next-generation PLC model that prioritizes collective efficacy and actionable strategies by focusing on five essential questions:

  • Where are we going?
  • Where are we now?
  • How do we move learning forward?
  • What did we learn today?
  • Who benefited and who did not?

PLC+ emphasizes identifying and applying evidence-based instruction that values the background of every student, ensuring access and opportunities for all. Team members begin by identifying a common challenge. Then, the clear PLC+ framework, practical tools, and research-based strategies ensure that team efforts directly improve teaching practices and student outcomes.

This playbook includes: 

  • Protocols and tools that promote data-driven decision-making and actionable plans.
  • Engaging features like "Two Truths and a Lie," self-assessment tools, and implementation-ready scenarios.
  • Practical strategies to measure the real-time impact of collaborative efforts.
  • An interactive design with ample space to reflect on your learning and outline steps to build collective efficacy.

Transform your professional learning community today. Whether you′re a teacher or school leader, Your Introduction to PLC+ equips you with the knowledge and skills to collaborate effectively and lead with clarity and confidence. Together, you’ll create effective and impactful learning environments that ensure every student thrives.
