This month, we want to highlight The Other Teacher PLC, where facilitators Jacquel Harper and Shannon Karr are working tirelessly to transform classrooms in alignment with The Creative Curriculum. Their collaborative efforts focus on evaluating and enhancing learning environments to foster effective teaching practices.Each teacher participating in this PLC will receive up to $100 to purchase necessary materials for implementing their curriculum studies, ensuring they have the resources to support their students' growth. We are thrilled to see the positive impact these enhancements will have on our children’s learning experiences.

Together, Jacquel and Shannon form a dynamic duo dedicated to guiding our teachers in effectively implementing the curriculum. We are eager to see the progress and growth that will result from their efforts this year.
PLC participants broke into small groups and worked on visuals prompts that would be helpful to students in their classrooms. The breakout time gave opportunity for collaborative learning between teachers from different sites.
