Live PLC Workshops

PLC (Professional Learning Community) workshops are 45-minute moderated discussions about CLASS®-related topics. They are held over zoom. While each PLC is produced for one of four specific CLASS® audiences (such as Leader, Educator, Coach or Observer), PLCs are helpful to any type of CLASS® user. The information below describes our upcoming live PLC Workshops and provides a link to our reservation form so you can reserve your spot.

Note, we record our PLC workshops. You are welcome to view our PLC Video Library by visiting our Advance Your Skills portal. The password is “CLASS123” (all caps, no quote marks).
