These video lessons explain the basics of PLCs while demonstrating some of the biggest differences between our Boot Camp approach and many other training methods. Remember that these are just a quick preview of some of the material that we cover on Monday morning – and not a substitute for taking one of our full five-day classes. Naturally a video can’t duplicate the same “in person” teaching techniques that we use in our Boot Camp classes, but we still hope that you’ll find the material helpful.
We highly recommend that you watch these in number order – since each lesson builds on the previous ones.
