The Board of Trustees recognizes that PLFs "provide regular opportunities for exchange of teacher expertise to increase student achievement. Areas of professional growth needs are identified and planned out at the teacher and school level using common planning tools across the division. Staff collaborate in system-wide grade-level teams and school-based instructional teams to enhance teachers’ skills for educating a diverse student body and holding high expectations for student achievement" (Fort McMurray Public School Division, 2021, p. 30).
