Professional Learning Communities at Work®
Professional learning communities (PLCs) are schools that empower educators to work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve.
At the heart of the PLC at Work process are four critical questions that drive the daily actions of every team member:
- What is it we want our students to know and be able to do?
- How will we know if each student has learned it?
- How will we respond when some students do not learn it?
- How will we extend the learning for students who have demonstrated proficiency?
RTI at Work™
RTI—also known as a multitiered system of supports (MTSS)—is a systematic process that helps ensure all students receive the time and resources needed to learn at high levels. Built upon the PLC at Work framework, RTI at Work is the best answer we know to Critical Questions 3 and 4.
Work with our RTI at Work associates to develop and sustain:
- A coherent and viable core curriculum that embeds ongoing monitoring for all students
- Immediate and targeted interventions systematically applied and monitored for any students not achieving
- Intensive interventions focused on closing gaps

"Despite the heroic efforts of educators throughout the state, the inequities present in our systems seemed to be exacerbated by the pandemic. Virtual learning, and our need to adapt quickly, revealed that all students didn’t have access to the same high-quality education. Through the WASA PLC at Work Project, we are intentional that learning efforts are targeted and result in a positive impact for all students. The goal of the project is to assist districts in Washington to work smarter, not harder.”
