What is the dush PLc?
Debating U.S. History’s Professional Learning Community (PLC) gives teachers the tools they need to make the most of the curriculum. The DUSH PLC focuses on four core areas:
Cultivating a unique and powerful professional community focused on collegial and active learning to support and refine classroom practice, based on curricular materials in use;
Summer orientation and full day academic year sessions to help teachers hone strategies for general academic and history-specific literacy and content learning, analyze student work and adapt the curriculum to their needs;
Focused work within professional learning sessions to facilitate adapting the curriculum to specific classroom contexts and foster access, relevance and student engagement, and
On demand troubleshooting and co-planning assistance.
The large repertoire of ideas presented in the DUSH curriculum and addressed in the professional learning sessions assists teachers in connecting theory to practice, integrating new ideas and methods in their instruction, and applying knowledge flexibly in practice. DUSH instructional specialists and the professional learning community the program builds provide teachers with a supportive context in which to implement and adapt the program to their classroom needs.
