Observer Reports
Powdersville Elementary School was recently honored by Solution Tree for its sustained success in raising student achievement. The school’s successful implementation of the Professional Learning Communities at Work® process was a major contributing factor in the improved achievement of its students.
The school is one of 200 in the United States and Canada to receive the recognition.
PLCs are schools and districts in which educators recognize the key to improved learning for students is on-going, job-embedded learning for the adults who serve those students. The three big ideas of a PLC call upon educators to: focus on learning, build a collaborative culture, and create a results orientation.
“Powdersville Elementary is only the third school in South Carolina to be recognized as a model PLC school,” said Anderson School District One Superintendent Robbie Binnicker. “We are proud of the hard work by the faculty and staff, and most of all, we are proud of the academic excellence that has been achieved through a commitment to collaboration and continuous improvement.”
