Districts Love Working with PLC

Breadth of our work

PLC Associates has collected more than a million responses to our surveys, and has worked with hundreds of schools and districts, and almost two dozen BOCES across New York.

Districts love our work

Our clients love working with us because we make it easy to triangulate on successes, provide actionable insights, and focus specifically on key areas of school improvement: leadership, curriculum, instructional practices, student social-emotional, and family connections.

The fastest gap-closing schools in the state can be attributed largely to the systems transformation facilitated by PLC Associates.
