Teachers Council: Professional Learning Community (PLC)

The Teachers Council: Professional Learning Community (PLC) is an open space where our J-1 Teachers can post questions, seek advice, ask for help with challenging situations or students, share success stories, and support one another. All discussions must focus on student learning, improving techniques, and becoming effective teachers. Our teachers come from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, and there is no judgment here – only positivity and encouragement.
