Rock Hill Schools
Professional Learning Community Conference
At Winthrop University July 22 and 23
Come to the Rock Hill Schools Professional Learning Community Conference on July 22 and 23 at Winthrop University to hear Luis Cruz and John Hodge share their experiences as leaders who not only have the profound belief in “learning for all” but have put that belief into action. Both of these exceptional leaders have clearly demonstrated that even against the greatest odds, all children can learn at high levels.
Dr. Luis Cruz
Dr. Cruz presents on methods from the best-selling book Transforming School Culture by Anthony Muhammad. In 2007, Dr. Cruz led a collective effort to secure a $250,000 grant for Baldwin Park from the California Academic Partnership Program for the purpose of effectively utilizing “courageous leadership” to promote a more equitable and effective organization.
Dr. John Hodge
Dr. Hodge served as Director of An Achievable Dream Academy, an inner city school where many of the interventions used by The Urban Learning and Leadership Center were piloted. An Achievable Dream Academy is a high performing, high poverty school that has received numerous national awards. His presentations often serve as “the spark” for many schools in their quest to meet state and federal accreditation standards.
Professional Learning Communities
Professional Learning Communities at Work
“School mission statements that promise “learning for all” have become a cliché. But when a school staff takes that statement literally – when teachers view it as a pledge to ensure the success of each student rather than as politically correct hyperbole – profound changes begin to take place.” ~DuFour, DuFour, Eaker“The Professional Learning Community model flows from the assumption that the core mission of formal education is not simply to ensure that students are taught but to ensure that they learn.”~DuFour, DuFour, Eaker
