ED 114: TLC for the PLC (3 CEUs or 45 Clock Hours)
Strong Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are built through trust, continuous learning, and meaningful collaboration. This 45-hour professional development course helps K–12 educators develop effective PLCs that improve teaching practices and student learning. Participants will explore the foundations of successful PLCs, effective team meetings, collaboration, student data analysis, common assessments, interventions, enrichment, conflict resolution, and continuous improvement. Through interactive lessons, realistic school-based scenarios, self-assessments, reflections, videos, quizzes, downloadable tools, and practical activities, educators will apply research-based strategies to real classroom and team situations. By the end of the course, participants will create a personalized PLC Improvement Blueprint with actionable strategies to strengthen collaboration and support student success.
