From Compliance to Impact: Advancing PLCs Through the Right Work
LIMITED
Thursday August 6, 2026 12:55pm - 1:10pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
In this interactive table discussion, school leaders will move beyond the "compliance" of Professional Learning Communities to focus on high-leverage effectiveness. Using the DuFour PLC Continuum as a diagnostic lens, participants will evaluate their school’s current reality and identify the specific collaborative structures needed to move their teams forward. The focus of this session is on the "right work." You will collaborate with your peers and core team members to bridge the gap between where your school is now and where it needs to be to maximize student outcomes.

Cracking the Code: Blending Student-Led Stations and Reading Signposts to Conquer Complex Texts.
LIMITED
Thursday August 6, 2026 2:00pm - 2:15pm EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Starting from the learner’s perspective, participants will then apply the instructional assessment chart (Beers, 2023) to pinpoint where a student's reading may be challenged and practice using the "Notice & Note" signposts students need to decode complex, state-test-level texts. Most importantly, you will leave with a turnkey leadership toolkit that includes ready-to-use rotation blueprints, coaching templates, and resources. This will allow you to go back to your school and show your teachers exactly how to build these student-led tools to support your students in analyzing dense and complex text.
