On the 3rd episode of Canyon Springs: From Promising Practices to Model PLC, listen in on the PLC journey with Canyon Springs as we work to be further recognized as a Solution Tree National Model PLC school. This week, meet Jesseca Tobin, a Canyon Springs primary teacher, and member of the Guiding Coalition, as she teaches us the importance of knowing the end in mind, how "clarity precedes competence, and how truly understanding exactly what it is that students must learn (the Essential Standards) actually make teaching easier.
