Mercer County Teachers and Administrators participated in one of our Regional PLC’s last night.
In Mercer County we are placing an increased emphasis on data, best practices, and student achievement this year. We truly believe these Professional Learning Communities will help us accomplish this goal. The PLC's will also be used to share data success stories, research-based instructional strategies, best practices, student work samples, etc. for ELA and Math.
