Why Choose the Leading Impact Teams PLC Model?
Why Choose the Leading Impact Teams PLC Model?
Impact Teams is the only PLC Model that truly puts students in the driver’s seat.
Learner-Centered Focus
Our PLCs are designed to cultivate a learning environment where students take ownership of their educational learning by engaging in self-peer assessment, reflection, and goal setting so students gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement.
Reflective Practices
Reflection is a cornerstone of our PLCs and for students. Students and teachers analyze evidence collaboratively and take action based on the goals they want to achieve. They reflect on their actions to understand impact. They take action by enacting asset based approaches so students reach their full potential.

Empowerment
Empowerment involves building confidence, setting and achieving personal and team goals, and overcoming obstacles through resourcefulness and resilience. By cultivating a strong sense of self-worth and embracing one’s unique strengths grounded in each learners’ cultural identity, individuals and teams can navigate challenges with courage and determination.
Goal Setting for Success
Setting and achieving goals is essential for PLC and learner success. Our Impact Team PLC Model guides educators and students in setting realistic and challenging goals, providing them with the tools and support needed to plan their approach and monitor and celebrate their progress.

Effective Systems of Intervention
Impact Teams use Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) as a powerful framework for building student efficacy by providing quality, targeted, evidence-based tiers of support based on students' academic and behavioral strengths-needs. As students and teachers experience success, their belief in their own abilities strengthens, leading to enhanced engagement and progress across all areas of learning.
