It is a a collegial group of Administrators and School Staff who are united in their commitment to Learners’ learning.

They can serve as a mechanism to transform school culture. In other words, PLCs connect teachers with information, strategies and best practices.

One hour of every Wednesday will be dedicated to the PLCs at the school, cluster or circuit level.

Students will close and go home while teachers have a training hour to upgrade themselves.

2.Professional Development Days (PDDs)
