RECOGNITION FROM SOLUTION TREE FOR YOCUM PRIMARY & ELEM.

El Dorado, Arkansas, [3/13/24]—Solution Tree has recognized Yocum Primary

and Elementary as a Promising Practices Professional Learning Community at Work for their success in strengthening student achievement.

Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are schools and districts in which

educators recognize that the key to improved learning for students is ongoing, 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.

Promising Practices schools are recognized for building a strong foundation based on the PLC concepts, implementation of these concepts for at least one to two years, and clear evidence of improved student learning over that period. Once measurable results can be seen, the school must explain its practices, structures, and culture and submit its application for consideration by the PLC Review Committee.

For more than 20 years, Solution Tree resources have helped K–12 teachers and administrators create schools where all children succeed.

The El Dorado School District’s commitment to implementing the PLC at Work process has been a major contributing factor in making a visible, positive impact on student learning within Yocum.
