Welcome!
It is a privilege and pleasure to be associated with an institution of higher learning that, first and foremost, is committed to providing a quality education. Beyond that, it is an honor to be a part of a team directly tasked with supporting Arizona's schools in today's challenging environment for educators.
Grand Canyon University has created a no-cost, non-exclusive partnership to offer services and additional opportunities focused on attracting, retaining and maintaining quality professionals in education and educational leadership called Partners in Learning, Leading & Serving (PLLS).
PLLS is designed to benefit all parties involved: your teachers, your students and your district, as well as our College of Education students.
As PLLS evolves and expands, so will the services and support that GCU offers to members. We welcome your input and feedback about ways we can further serve PLLS members and Arizona education as a whole.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tacy C. Ashby
