PLC Bytes

PLC Bytes are 10-15 minute presentations designed to be used in Professional Learning Communities (PLC) or faculty meetings. They provide brief-yet-to-the-point overviews of both general and content-specific components of the Colorado Academic Standards. New content-specific PLC Bytes will be highlighted on each content area home page. All PLC Bytes will eventually be archived here.

If you are seeking a PLC Byte on a specific topic or need technical assistance on this page, please email Anna Huffman.
