Introducing the PLCS Leadership Suite!

PLCS is launching the Leadership Suite to support, develop, and connect educational leaders at every level.

Rooted in research and grounded in the realities of school leadership, the PLCS Leadership Suite is a new professional learning series designed to grow, connect, and empower leaders across roles and career stages. Through thoughtfully designed programs, the Leadership Suite supports the development of essential skills, fosters collaborative learning communities, and provides actionable strategies to meet the evolving demands of today’s educational landscape.

It begins with two high-impact offerings:
The Leadership Studio and Leading Leaders: Lead Evaluator Training — with more to come.

Leading Leaders: Lead Evaluator Training

A knowledge- and skill-building experience for school and district leaders, this training focuses on strengthening inter-rater reliability and effective evaluation practices aligned with high-quality teaching and learning. Lead Evaluator Training includes APPR 3012-d and supports participants in navigating the transition to 3012-e (STEPS Program).

Learn More about the Leadership Studio

Effective school leadership goes beyond managing day-to-day operations—it requires vision, courage, and a proactive approach
to meeting the evolving needs of students, staff, and communities.

The Leadership Studio is a dynamic professional learning experiences created to inspire, empower, and support principals and assistant principals in leading with purpose, clarity, and impact.

Grounded in research and real-world practice, the series combines structured learning with responsive coaching and peer collaboration. Participants will engage in a sequence of high-leverage sessions focused on today’s most critical topics in education: MTSS implementation, culturally responsive leadership, social-emotional learning, instructional excellence, discipline reform, and authentic community engagement.

To ensure that each session reflects the realities and priorities of school leadership today, quarterly themes will emerge in response to current challenges and opportunities in the field. These themes allow the learning to remain flexible and responsive—co-constructed with practicing building leaders to meet participants where they are. This approach ensures that the professional learning is not only timely, but immediately applicable, bridging the gap between theory and practice in ways that support leaders’ day-to-day decision-making and long-term vision.

Each session is designed to build both knowledge and capacity—equipping leaders with practical tools, strategic frameworks, and a supportive network to foster innovation, advance equity, and drive sustainable school improvement.

Whether you're building foundational systems or leading next-level change, the Leadership Studio offers a space to think boldly, lead collaboratively, and make meaningful, lasting impact.
