Our Winter Institute is the place where you can learn how to cultivate leadership for student excellence. You'll hear from experts on everything from new discoveries to new technologies—and you'll leave feeling inspired to make a difference in your school. Join us in March 2024 and learn how to create a culture of excellence, where every student is supported in their journey toward life-long learning.
Hear Opening Keynote Dr. Anthony S. Muhammad, CEO of New Frontier Consulting and International Thought Leader and his presentation The Way Forward: PLC at Work and the Bright Future of Education:
The impact of COVID-19 will have a long lasting effect on every facet of our society. Very few institutions were more disrupted than schools. The pandemic affected staffing, funding, morale, and the continuity of student learning. We will explore the history of the field of education and examine why the tenants of the PLC at Work process were important before the global pandemic and why they are even more important after the pandemic. This is not the time to back away from PLC, this is the time to reinforce the foundation of the PLC at Work process.
