WCSD PLC at Work® LIVE Institute (Crimson Cliffs High School)

“Creating lifelong learners” is a key objective in the mission statements for many schools and districts. Because today’s average high school graduate will change careers at least four times by the age of 40, ensuring that all students master the skills and behaviors needed to guide their future learning is essential to ensuring their future success. A study of highly effective, learning-progressive schools worldwide found these schools share two common elements: they operate as high-functioning PLCs with well-implemented RTI structures, and they promote student agency in the learning process.
Mike Mattos discusses how to build a highly effective school where students are engaged in personalized learning experiences and empowered to take ownership of the four critical questions of the PLC at Work process.
Outcomes from this session include:
● Discussing the essential knowledge, skills, and behaviors required to “future proof” our students
● Defining how to create collaborative teacher teams within the PLC at Work framework and foster teacher transdisciplinary skills and behaviors
● Discovering how to use the four critical questions of a PLC to form pathways and progressions for personalized learning in the classroom
● Learning how schools utilize the RTI process to ensure every student develops agency and personalized learning opportunities required to thrive in a global economy
