The Way Forward: Maximizing Your PLC at Work® Process Conference Description:
The impact of Covid-19 will have a long-lasting effect on every facet of our society. Very few institutions were more disrupted than schools. The pandemic affected staffing, funding, morale, and the continuity of student learning. Participants explore the history of the field of education and examine why the tenants of the PLC at Work® process were important before the global pandemic and why they are even more important after the pandemic. This is not the time to back away from the PLC at Work process; this is the time to reinforce its foundation.

Teams learn the history of the PLC at Work movement and the evolution of the public school promise.

The PLC at Work process is essential to repair and advance the field of education following the Covid-19 pandemic.
