Professional+Collaboration

All teachers are expected to work cooperatively with colleagues, according to the the Alaska State Teacher Standards. Sites, under the educational leadership of their building principals, decide what protocols they will use to facilitate that collaboration, such as Professional Learning Communities (PLC's) or Critical Friends Groups.
