Discover a practical, comprehensive model of effective professional learning communities. In this user-friendly guide, educators explore research-based steps and strategies designed to increase the effectiveness of collaborative teams and enhance PLCs. Examine how the PLC process can transform critical components of education—including curriculum, assessment, instruction, and teacher development—and use reproducible agendas, scales, and checklists to improve schoolwide practices.
This book gives a nice framework for establishing PLCs, the work of PLCs, and the benefits of PLCs. There are resources throughout to support the work of PLCs. This is a great book for staff, team leaders, and building leaders. I have a much better sense of what needs to be in place in a building/program for PLCs to be successful and to be maintained.
