Other high performing schools locally and across the nation know what we in Littleton Public Schools have known for a decade: Professional Learning Communities increase student academic growth and achievement.
Engaging in Professional Learning Communities helps us keep our promise to students to prepare them for meaningful post secondary opportunities upon high school graduation. Our community has high expectations for its schools. Professional Learning Communities are the mechanism through which we will continue to meet these expectations.
In order to provide our teachers with the tools, skills, and information they need to meet the needs of ALL students, teachers need more time to collaborate with one another in Professional Learning Communities. An emerging idea is to provide more frequent and consistent time throughout the school year for PLCs.
Please visit the Littleton Public Schools website www.littletonpublicschools.net/district/improving-plcs-emerging-idea to learn more. The website will be updated frequently, so please check back for additional details. We invite you to attend a parent meeting in January or February to hear LPS Superintendent Brian Ewert share important information about the district’s vision for improving student learning through Professional Learning Communities. He will share emerging ideas of how to adjust instructional time to provide more opportunities for professional collaboration, and he would like to hear your thoughts. Parents and community members are welcome to attend the meetings at ANY school. A complete list is available through the link above.
