District approves year‑two PLC coaching with Solution Tree to deepen site‑level professional learning
Summary
The board approved continued on‑site PLC coaching with consultant Jen Miner and plans to use learning recovery funds to add subject coaches later.
The Palmdale Aerospace Academy District board approved continued professional learning community (PLC) coaching with Solution Tree consultant Jen Miner as a second year of a multi‑year implementation.
A staff presenter told the board that Miner spent 10 days working with district directors, principals and assistant principals, and that the first‑year work focused on building a shared foundation for PLCs, leadership capacity and collaborative practices. "The focus was on professional learning communities as a foundation for school improvement," the presenter said. The presenter described outcomes including shared norms, guiding coalitions at each site and leadership development.
Phase two will move the consultant work into classrooms and teacher teams, with coaching for principals and teacher teams. The presenter said the district plans to later bring additional coaches focusing on math and English language arts, funded by learning recovery block grant money, to deepen instruction in those subjects. The board moved and approved the recommendation for continued PLC coaching by voice vote.
The meeting transcript does not record detailed budget amounts for the renewal or the precise scope of time for year‑two coaching; those details were not provided in the public presentation.
