Are you a leader looking to transform your school district’s PLCs from routine meetings to powerful engines driving teacher morale and student growth? Watch this edWebinar to discover a Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle that empowers educators to refine instruction and support more accessible implementation of rigorous High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM).
Centered on 12 research-based instructional practices, we showcase how this approach leads to tangible increases in student engagement, belonging, problem solving, mindset, and achievement data. Learn how strategic PLCs foster collaborative planning, improve teacher self-efficacy for your team, and support scaling successful practices across your school building. We delve into the practical strategies and step-by-step protocols all educators can use, and how those actions lead to positive feedback, student ownership, and lasting change.
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, teacher leaders, and instructional coaches.
