Robertson High School recognized as a Model Professional Learning Community At Work

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ROBERTSON HIGH SCHOOL RECOGNIZED AS A MODEL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUMITY AT WORK    

One of About 200 Schools and Districts in the US and Canada to Receive This Honor

Fremont, California October, 2022 Robertson High School was recently recognized by Solution Tree 
for its sustained success in raising student achievement.  Robertson High School’s successful 
implementation of the Professional Learning Communities at Work process was a major contributing 
factor in the improved achievement of its students.

PLCs are schools and districts in which educators recognize the key to improved learning for 
students is on-going, job-embedded learning for the adults who serve those students.  The three big 
ideas of a PLC call upon educators to:

1.   Focus on learning.
2.   Build a collaborative culture.
3.   Create a results orientation.

Responding to news of the recognition, Principal Herrera said, “The staff’s hard work and 
commitment to ensure student success is a core foundation of the work we do.  I appreciate each and 
every one on site for the various roles they play to eliminate barriers and provide access for 
student success.”

Schools  are  recognized  based  on  strict  criteria,  including  demonstration  of  a  commitment 
 to  PLC concepts, implementation of these concepts for at least three 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 or consideration by the 
PLC Review Committee.

According to the Champions of PLC at Work, educators in the schools and districts selected for this 
recognition have shown “a sustained commitment to helping all of their students achieve at high 
levels. They have been willing to alter the structure and culture of the organization to reflect 
their commitment. We applaud them and congratulate them for achieving this very significant 
milestone on the never-ending PLC journey.”

Recognized  model  PLC  schools  are  listed  on  allthingsplc.info,  where  they  share  
implementation strategies, structures, and performance with other educators interested in improving 
their schools.  Tools for team collaboration, articles and research about PLCs, blog posts, and 
other related resources are also available on the site.  The site was developed and is maintained 
by Solution Tree, a leading provider of educational strategies and tools that improve staff and 
student performance.  For more than 20 years, Solution Tree resources have helped K-12 teachers and 
administrators create schools where all children succeed.
