PLCs are schools and districts that recognize the key to improved learning for students is ongoing, job-embedded professional learning for educators. The 3 Big Ideas of the PLC at Work process call upon educators to: (1) focus on learning, (2) build a collaborative culture, and (3) create a results orientation. The complementary HRS framework serves as a long-term strategic planning tool that guides school improvement in five key areas:
Safe, Supportive, and Collaborative Culture
Effective Teaching in Every Classroom
Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
Standards-Referenced Reporting
Competency-Based Education
