Learn from leading experts
The Collaborative teams that work webinar series outlines the twelve essential actions of a cycle of learning carried out by highly successful collaborative teams that have embraced the four critical questions of a PLC at Work®.
These virtual sessions will provide proven, practical actions that classroom educators and school leaders can take now to ensure continuous collaboration that results in high levels of learning for all.
Implemented through each cycle of learning (unit of work), these actions provide teams with a roadmap to ensure students and teachers benefit from the learning their collaborative efforts bring.
Presenters Gavin Grift and Colin Sloper will share key knowledge and tips to bridge the gap between PLC research and reality for collaborative teams and schools. Attendees will leave these sessions with a blueprint for collaborative teams to use in their ongoing school improvement efforts. This webinar series has been designed to assist teachers and teams, whether they are working in school or via remote learning, to ensure that any potential learning shortfalls are addressed.

Praise for Grift and Sloper’s upcoming book Collaborative teams that work
‘It took me six years, through trial and error, to figure out what this book will explain to the reader in a logical and effective multi-stage process. This book is a gift to anyone who wants to support the development of strong collaborative teams but simply does not have the insight on how to do it.
‘Grift and Sloper have provided the practitioner with a guide that I would have given my right arm to have in 2001. I encourage anyone who has access to this book to read it carefully and apply the lessons that are so masterfully laid out in this brilliant, research-based manifesto on producing the most valuable asset in any effective school: strong collaborative teams. Schools are institutions, not islands. The more we harness the power of we, the more we will wonder at why we ever chose to work in isolation.’
