Corwin’s PLC+ Institute provides attendees with a practical and evidence-based framework to support collaborative structures to support planning and implementation of student learning, as well as professional learning (e.g. microteaching, classroom observations) of the teachers and teacher leaders.

It's settled science: developing skilled readers can enhance students’ lives. That’s why renowned educators Douglas Fisher & Nancy Frey created this institute with the urgency of a code blue in an ER—because too many children, for many reasons, struggle with learning to become strong readers. Reading is a thrilling but complex process. It involves a heady mix of skills, schema, self-concept, and social dimensions. This institute is designed to be a one-stop shop for best practices.

This institute moves beyond learning intentions and dives deep into how best to support the development and implementation of high-quality success criteria. Engage in an active and empowering learning experience that will enhance understanding of how to create and implement high-quality success criteria.

Credible leaders know where they are going. They have a vision, shared with various members of the school community, that includes plans and steps for getting there. They exude the sense of a positive future, even if they do not establish all the goals and metrics for success.  This session focuses on increasing leader credibility such that ideas become actions. This institute will focus on 5 characteristics that determine a leader's credibility in eyes of those they lead including trust, competence, dynamism, immediacy, and forward-thinking.

How does feedback work? The overall effect size for feedback is 0.62, but the complexity behind what makes feedback effective requires that we move beyond just provide a score or grade. We often focus only on giving feedback and overlook the receiving of the feedback and how to integrate that feedback into next steps in teaching and learning. This institute will unpack findings from the large body of research on feedback from the perspectives of the giver of the feedback AND the receiver of the feedback. Together, we will learn about the features of effective feedback, ways to foster, nurtu

Early childhood is a uniquely sensitive time when young learners are rapidly developing across multiple domains. Knowing which teaching strategies work best and when can have a significant impact on a child’s development and future success, both in school and beyond.

When we create a learning community that works together through a collectivist lens of shared accountability with a focus on equity; we begin to see how educators convene around high expectations for learning across all dimensions of identities. Such learning communities are empowered to explore how their collaborative actions and decisions propel learning forward. Reimagining schooling through a collectivist lens takes effort when we consider that so much about our current system is grounded in principles of individualism and competition.

Join us for an amazing day of learning where we will move beyond Visible Learning as a ranking system or checklist and towards a way of thinking about our role as evaluators of our impact.  We will unpack the latest findings from the Visible Learning database so that we can engage in deliberate practices around what content, ideas, and skills we want our students to know, understand, and do. Making learning visible will allow you to identify what works best in teaching and learning and how to approach the implementation of what works best in your own school and classroom.
