A Professional Learning Community, or PLC, is a group of educators that meets regularly, shares expertise, and works collaboratively to improve teaching skills and student outcomes. In our case, all our topics are based around the MCO and distance learning.
Sign up and be apart of our Professional Learning Community (PLC) for FREE .
All our webinars will have around 20 minutes of input from a LeapEd team member and participants have an opportunity for question and answers. Most sessions will have a total of 50 minutes where we model examples of the topic and make the content visible.
How is our webinar different and how can it benefit you? Easy. During LeapEd Bright Ideas Webinars, we believe that collaboration is the key to learning, and wherever possible you will have a chance to talk to other educators in small groups to answer questions and solve problems.
