Teachers Social Sciences PLC
What's a PLC? It's a
Professional
Learning
Community.
It's a place to communicate your needs, share your experience, and keep up with what is
going on in the Social Sciences in Quebec.
Joining the SS-PLC means you will have access to various resources shared by teachers,
student-teachers, board consultants and of course the LEARN teams. It will allow you to
access a sheltered area, where educators can experiment, and send feedback, and even work on new
documents together.
