Summer School: Visions Staff Attend PLC At Work Conference

Over the past two years, Visions In Education’s instructional administrators, teachers, and counselors have been participating in PLC at Work Institutes hosted by Solution Tree. The PLC (Professional Learning Communities) model teaches instructional teams how to unify processes and goals in an effort to deliver quality education to students.

Last week, 140 more Visionaries gathered at Safe Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento to continue learning new strategies for working collaboratively in PLCs. This included leaders from our Business Services Department who were in attendance to continue our 1% better every day pursuit and strengthen Visions’ practices.

“Witnessing the dedication and professionalism of our Visions staff at the PLC Conference was truly inspiring. The sheer number of our team members who attended highlights our collective commitment to excellence and continuous improvement,” said Heather King, Director of Instruction for Home School. “It’s exciting to see, and be a part of, such enthusiasm and eagerness to implement new ideas and strategies.”

“It was great to gather with many Visions employees at the PLC Conference,” said Michael Brubaker, Senior Director of Operations. “Although I attended many great sessions during the conference, my favorite session was when the entire Visions team met together Thursday afternoon. In that meeting, each Visions Professional Learning Community (also called a Guiding Coalition) shared what they have been working on this past year. I am excited to continue this process and to see what great things we can achieve as we all work together to strengthen each other to support student learning.”

Future-Focused

The PLC model will continue to be applied to Visions’ systems moving forward, benefitting students and families by bettering systems of support, transforming school culture and sustaining school improvement. We look forward to continuing this work with Solution Tree throughout the 2024-25 school year to ensure all staff are trained on the strategies that Visionaries will be using to become a PLC.
