Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) at CES

Teaching is hard! Educators need a space to come together. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are for any educator in a school setting in Massachusetts. They are a place for educators to share in problems of practice, develop ideas, and learn together on developments in the field.

Our PLCs are very participant-driven and session dates (after the first) as well as topics will be decided by the group with the facilitator(s). PDPs, depending on the attendance and assignment specifications for each PLC, may be available.
