PLC at Work Institute

The PLC at Work Institute is an immersive three-day event designed for educators seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in implementing Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) effectively within their schools or districts. Held at the Cox Business Center in Tulsa, this institute features a robust agenda with four influential keynote speakers who delve into essential themes such as shared leadership, the significance of strong cultural foundations in education, and the collaborative processes necessary for all educators—not just administrators—to thrive.

Throughout the event, attendees will have the opportunity to network with leading experts in the field, ensuring that the insights gained are both practical and directly applicable to their everyday work.

The institute focuses on three core ideas central to PLCs: prioritizing student learning, fostering a collaborative culture, and maintaining a results-oriented approach. Participants will engage in breakout sessions led by experienced teachers and coaches, allowing them to explore actionable strategies tailored to their unique contexts. Feedback from past attendees underscores the event's effectiveness; many have reported significant takeaways that empower them to lead their teams toward achieving high levels of student learning.

The inclusion of a Solution Tree Book Co-op on-site offers additional resources, with discounts available for bulk purchases, ensuring participants leave equipped with valuable tools and materials to support their ongoing professional development.

Notable testimonials highlight the event's impact, with educators expressing renewed passion for their craft and a clear sense of direction for future implementation of PLC principles. The event also offers course credit eligibility through the University of Lynchburg, adding further value for attendees seeking to enhance their professional credentials. By the end of the institute, participants will walk away with not only enhanced knowledge but also a sense of community with fellow educators committed to fostering a collaborative and results-driven educational environment.
