Recalibrating PLCs for Student Growth in the New Year

Blog-Image-Webinar-Panel-Edweek-Jan27

January often brings a reality check for PLCs. 

Teams have data in hand, but priorities have shifted, momentum may have slowed, and it’s not always clear what deserves the most attention next.

In this recorded panel discussion, district and school leaders share how they intentionally reset their PLCs midyear, refocusing on purpose, clarifying expectations, and using data in ways that support teachers rather than overwhelm them. Rooted in real experiences, the conversation keeps things practical, focusing on how teams can collaborate effectively and keep student growth front and center as the year moves forward.

Watch to learn about:

  • How to recognize when PLCs have drifted and what it takes to realign purpose, norms, and focus
  • Ways to use winter assessment data to guide instruction without adding stress or extra work for teachers
  • How aligning PLC conversations with MTSS cycles helps teams respond more quickly and strengthen Tier 1 instruction
