Objectives:

Participants in this PLC will receive guidance and support focused on the following themes:

  • Recovery: In Session 1, leaders will examine the importance of  tending to themselves and their fellow educators in mental health and wellness.  
  • Restoration: In Session 2 , leaders will explore ways to efficiently and authentically assess what has been broken and lost over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and mitigate the damage done. 
  • Re-vision: In Sessions 3 and 4, leaders will reimagine practices moving forward, exploring innovations that can stick, and distinguishing reacting to a pandemic from fighting inequities that are endemic.
  • Re-group: In Session 5, after a four-week break, leaders will come back together to finalize plans for applying their learning in the coming academic year.
