With the BIG announcement that you've been waiting for.

It's almost here. The inaugural 2020 Cohort of The Culturally Responsive Education by Design Online PLC will open for enrollments on Friday, August 7th!

If you've read the book and have been working to implement elements of the Ready for Rigor frame, then things just got easier with this unique year-long PLC.

This is not your cooperating teacher's PLC. lol I can't wait to share how we can help students level up their learning.

Then here's what to do:

1. Sign up for one of the 3 sessions of my FREE live webinar, ""The 4 Steps to Creating Intellectually-Safe Classrooms Anywhere - to Level Up Rigor for Diverse Learners". In this webinar, we will review core practices and a few strategies you can use right away to get students on the road to independent learning. You'll also learn more about how we can work together in the Online PLC, and get more information about what level of support is right for you.

2. After attending the webinar, you will have the opportunity to enroll in the Online PLC.

These webinars fill up fast, and there is limited space for participants on the platform I'm using to host the webinar, so don't miss out on securing your seat!
