The Professional Learning Communities for Teachers document outlines how districts can leverage ESSER funds to enhance teacher collaboration and professional learning, focusing on long-term capacity building. It emphasizes research-backed strategies like content-focused, expert-led planning, frequent feedback, and the use of granular student data to drive instruction. By embedding professional learning into the school day, creating teacher-leader roles, and addressing challenges such as scheduling and staffing, schools can sustainably improve teaching effectiveness. The goal is to respond to immediate student needs while fostering an ongoing culture of collaboration and growth.
