The Professional Development Center at Eagle Rock will be collaborating with the Estes Valley School District on September 22nd, 2015 as they conduct Assets Observations in all three schools in the district in an effort to strengthen essential learning standards. The district is focussed on becoming Professional Learning Communities. A Professional Learning Community (PLC) ensures that all students learn. They use the following questions to keep teaching efforts focused on meaningful learning and measurable results:
• What is it that we want children to learn?
• How will we know they have learned it?
• How will we respond when a child experiences difficulty in learning?
• How will we respond when they already know it?
