Strong PLC practices support better decisions for every student

This webinar shows school and district leaders how to strengthen PLCs as a key driver of effective MTSS—using assessment data, including MAP® Growth™, as part of consistent, collaborative decision-making practices.


The PLC approaches highlighted in this session align with well-established leadership and instructional practices commonly emphasized in NWEA Professional Learning and the Center for Model Schools, while drawing directly from real world district leadership experience.


Join Dr. Samantha Walder, Director of Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment at Tea Area School District (SD), for a practical look at how leaders can support PLCs that move beyond reviewing data to taking meaningful instructional action.


All registrants will receive a link to the on-demand recording of the session.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use MAP Growth within well-structured PLCs to clarify instruction and determine next steps for students
  • Shift PLC conversations from surface-level data review to instructional decision-making
  • Build consistent inquiry cycles that support collective action and continuous improvement
