PLS+Collaborates

The PLS teachers continue to expand their repertoire as instructional experts as they strive to provide richer and more personalized learning experiences for their students. While students are actively engaged in academically rigorous and targeted instruction on the PLS programs, more and more PLS teachers are taking this opportunity to provide individual and small group instruction, driven by the daily feedback the PLS programs provide.

To further leverage the technology that is currently available to iZone PLS teachers, the PLS Team is offering the opportunty for teachers to **collaborate with colleagues from other schools**, who teach the same grade and use the same PLS program, to develop grade-level, standards-driven, curriculum-related interdisciplinary projects that help students meet the New Common Core State Standards and integrate the use of Web 2.0 tools. PLS teachers can build their students capacity to communicate and collaborate with their peers across the city as they research, discuss, debate, and present content knowledge online using a variety of tools and media. PLS Teachers should go to [] and follow directions to register a collaborative project, locate a partner school.
