The MAGIC Starts with your PLC is designed to help Grades K-5 educators engage in M.A.G.I.C. (Mapping and Analyzing Grade-Level Instructional Connections) through purposeful collaboration and intentional planning. As the foundation of strong instruction, PLCs provide the space for teachers to internalize the essential components of Bluebonnet Learning—Fluency, Application, Concept Development, and Student Debrief—while deepening their understanding of the TEKS and the coherence of mathematics instruction. Teachers will leave with an exemplar structured PLC agenda and planning protocol that supports understanding of TEKS progression and Bluebonnet Learning components, enabling collaborative planning of coherent, standards-aligned instruction that strengthens student mathematical reasoning and achievement.

Participants will learn how to request Aeries access through a service ticket and the supervisor approval process, then dive into building a gradebook at the start of the year and at semester change GRD Templates, and year-long course setup for elementary. From there, teachers will explore how to take attendance, run essential Teacher Reports, and navigate the Student and Parent Portal to support home-school communication. The session also covers how to identify and responsibly handle sensitive student information, including Medical and Program Flags and PII.Supporting resources will be available on the Staff Resources Hub for reference after the session.
