Professional Learning Communities In-School Support Services

PLC Network Schools Program

The PLC Network Schools Program is designed for a network of schools (minimum of 4) that are committed to supporting each other through their implementation and development as professional learning communities. A central aim of this program is to accelerate the rate of change in re-culturing each school in the network as a high-functioning PLC.

The program includes:

PLC Network Forum Days (2 days)
In-School Coaching Support Days (2 days per school)
PLC Resource Library (per school)

Workshops

Solution Tree Australia provides customised workshops to meet the individual needs of schools and systems. The content of these sessions draw on, and unpack, key aspects of the PLC at Work process as outlined in Learning By Doing, 3rd edition by Rebecca DuFour, Richard DuFour, Robert Eaker, Thomas Many, Mike Mattos, Colin Sloper and Gavin Grift. These workshops can focus on the why, what or how of the PLC process and are suitable for schools or systems at any stage of the PLC journey.
