SLT Update
Knowing that only one AP from each site is able to attend SLT, we want to make sure that you all have access to the information that is shared. Your SLT should be bringing this information back to all staff members, but since you support various PLCs, it is important that you are aware of the direction we are heading.
Our SLT work this year is centered around the book Becoming a Learning Team: A guide to teacher-led cycle of continuous improvement and the continuous learning cycle that
is outlined.
All of the SLT resources are found in the SLT Canvas course. To join that course, please click here. Not only will you be able to see the slides that were presented at the first SLT in August, but you will also see that we have created a folder of PLC resources to support our work to transform PLCs into learning teams.
