Mercer County Schools’ elementary educators came together today for an Elementary Grade Level Professional Learning Community (PLC) focused on staff development and collaboration.

Teachers and staff participated in professional learning designed to strengthen instructional practices and support student success, while also working together in grade-level collaboration sessions.

A special thank you to our presenters from Silver Springs, Bluefield Primary School, Princeton Primary School, and Mountain Valley for sharing effective, research-based strategies with their colleagues.

When our staff learns and grows together, our students benefit every day. 💙
