Your school is committed to building a professional learning community-but how do you sustain the work of PLCs throughout the year? Through this two-day interactive workshop, you will discover a 15-day challenge that has helped schools across the nation strengthen their PLCs. Join expert Maria Nielsen as she shares how to jump-start the work of collaborative teams and bring the PLC at Work® process to life in classrooms, schools, and districts.
Participants will:

* Anticipate and plan for Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions as the unit is planned
