PLC Activators are teacher leaders who believe in their own efficacy as well as collective teacher efficacy. They will be given strategies for strengthening their cultures, building structures for efficiency, and establishing practices for PLC work (planning, assessments, and data analysis) in addition to tools for coaching their peers.
