Toronto Principals' Centre - PLP Approved Courses

The Toronto Principals' Centre invites you to attend a Summer Institute:

CREATING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS
presented by Eleanor Adam

PROGRAM

The research is clear - when teachers learn and work together, student achievement increases.

Through conversation, simulations and video case studies, school leaders will learn strategies to engage staff in the process of creating professional learning communities in school.

This program will build on the Winter Institute. New participants are welcome. More time will be allocated for the development of a plan to create and support learning teams in schools.

PRESENTER

Eleanor Adam is a former school principal and has taught leadership programs at OISE/UT, Harvard and Vanderbilt.

Eleanor is currently working with the Chicago Public School District facilitating STARS: School Teams Achieving Results for Students - a program to improve classroom instruction through the creation of professional learning communities.

Following a successful Winter Institute, our members requested additional opportunities to work with Eleanor on creating learning communities.
