Adaptive PLC: the same agility, for the adults
Agile Classrooms is for the classroom. Adaptive PLC is its companion for PLCs, instructional teams, and school leaders — a short, repeatable cycle for improving teaching and learning together.
Two practices, one philosophy
Students run Learning Sprints in the classroom. Staff teams run Adaptive PLC cycles around them. Learning and improvement move on the same beat.
