Glenview among schools in project
Glenview Elementary School was among 13 schools and two districts selected for the Arkansas Professional Learning Communities at Work project, according to a Friday news release from the North Little Rock School District.
The Arkansas Department of Education's Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, in partnership with Solution Tree, a national professional development provider, announced Glenview Elementary as one of the schools in their fifth cohort.
The designation means the elementary school staff will receive up to 50 days of training, coaching and support in an effort to enhance student learning.
"The PLC [Professional Learning Communities] model has proven to be a successful best practice implemented in many schools around the state," Gov. Asa Hutchinson said in the news release. "Schools that have embraced the PLC partnership, teacher coordination, and student-focused learning have seen improved learning and a culture that breeds success. I am excited that additional schools and districts now have the opportunity to learn about the benefits associated with this highly-successful program."
