Singletons in a PLC: Navigating On-Ramps to Meaningful Collaboration

The event titled Singletons in a PLC: Navigating On-Ramps to Meaningful Collaboration is designed specifically for singleton teachers and school leaders seeking to foster collaboration in educational settings. It will take place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Bakersfield, California. This highly interactive two-day workshop aims to provide participants with a clear framework tailored for small schools and institutions that have singleton teachers—those educators who are the sole instructors of a specific subject or course, such as music, art, or physics.During this workshop, participants will engage in meaningful discussions and activities that will equip them with essential tools and templates for collaboration. They will explore the concept of Singleton On-Ramps, which offers innovative ways for these teachers to connect and collaborate effectively with their peers. The workshop will also delve into essential skills that students need to thrive in today's world, transcending individual subject areas. Attendees will develop actionable plans for collaboration, focusing on monitoring student progress and collecting relevant data. Led by Jon Yost, a recently retired associate superintendent of curriculum and instruction from Sanger Unified School District, this event promises to inspire and empower educators to enhance their collaborative efforts. Participants will also receive a certificate of participation approximately six weeks after the event, which may be relevant for continuing education credits.
