One of the better books out there on PLCs, both for the specificity of resources included to support the work as well as the focus on the whole system, most notably the role of Boards.

This book contains many examples of planning and tracking documents in full 8.5X11 format. If you're implementing PLCs, I imagine these examples could be useful. It appears the various chapters are aimed toward different audiences (district, building, teacher teams) and as a result the text becomes quite redundant if the entire book is read cover-to-cover.

This is all good and dandy when your school district is small, rich, and homogeneously mixed. Which goes to show that no matter what you do in a community like this, positive results will ensue.
