Learning Objectives & Rationale: All participants will be equipped with knowledge, skills and strategies to function effectively on a team as well as help to move their teams to a more productive state.
Description: We hope to redefine our PLCs by exploring the
stages of a group first explored by Bruce Tuckman. As we become more aware, we will use this information to identify where our current group is functioning and become equipped with research based strategies to move our teams to a more desired state. Productive teams are solution focused and are better able to work together for the growth and development of all our students.
