2026 AAEA Summer Conference

With so many presentations focusing on why schools need to become a PLC, and what they are, my proposal is a “nuts and bolts” session where the focus will be on “How” to build high performing teams quickly utilizing the PLC process. This will give any administrator, or guiding coalition, an authentic experience on how to implement a PLC. Specifically, the focus will be on essential leadership traits and mindset, how to create norms that work, agendas that track, table talk roles for building high functioning teams, and a proven process that focuses on the 4 questions in a way that makes sense so teams quickly move from “forming” to giving high quality CFA’s, share effective strategies based on team data, and start real tier 2 intervention in months and not years.
