Some PLCs are game-changers. Others? Just another meeting on the calendar. So, what separates the high-performing teams from the ones just going through the motions? At Otus, we’ve teamed up with @1stEdResources a professional development partner known for helping schools build strong, sustainable PLCs. Their framework, used by schools nationwide, offers a clear picture of what high-performing PLCs do differently and why it works. #edtech #k12education #plcs Let’s break it down. hubs.li/Q03y1ZkB0







Wow! What an absolutely incredible two days of learning, laughing, and connecting with educators from all over the country. The Culturize Institute is something you have to experience for yourself! So many amazing educators in one space…and a huge shout out to our partners at 1st Educational Resources for all of their support and hard work to pull off this event with style and class. And finally, for the nearly 400 attendees for rocking the place for 2 days with your positivity, energy, and sincere kindness for one another. Always remember, we cause the culture so let’s keep working on ourselves to become the best version of ourselves. Great change starts with self-change my friends.
