What We Stand For
Every school district is unique, and with that comes an array of distinctive challenges that can affect a student’s ability to thrive and meet their potential. What we offer at PLC Associates is an innovative approach to deeper learning and an opportunity to guide education leaders through the challenges they face.
Our programs have resulted in a 99% retention rate and success in hundreds of schools across the United States. We also offer a catalog of programs, on-site support from a team of over 50 Associates, virtual learning opportunities, webinars, individual coaching, and much more.
Our Signature Programs are modified to meet the needs and goals of every school district and better facilitate, model, and implement teacher and administrative deliverables for student success:
We’re in an unprecedented time where educators and students across the United States are not able to interact in traditional classrooms. This five-part program is designed to show teachers and school districts how to simultaneously meet the needs of students in classrooms, as well as hybrid and remote learning settings. Learn more.
When students are encouraged to take charge of their learning, it can create more confident and driven learners. The Foundational Five program nurtures deeper learning by developing teachers’ abilities to engage students, practice targeted feedback, and promote the student’s voice and their ability for higher-order questioning. Learn more.
A healthy, dynamic, and proactive school culture is the cornerstone to greater student achievement across the K-12 levels. The Data Triangle tool helps education leaders improve their school culture and drive better decision making when it comes to education policy. PLC Associates works in unison with this tool by providing thorough assessments of a district’s teaching and learning, leadership, curriculum, community engagement, and social-emotional learning structures.
