Since 1998, we have published many books and videos with the same two goals in mind: (1) to persuade educators that the most promising strategy for meeting the challenge of helping all students learn at high levels is to develop their capacity to
function as a professional learning community and (2) to offer specific strategies and structures to help them transform their own schools and districts into PLCs.
Most 21st century organizations, including schools, have come to define collaboration to mean that
we function as professional learning communities (PLCs) or professional communities... learning.
Research shows that
professional learning communities (PLCs) provide the best environment for powerful
professional development and that the best
professional development builds staff capacity to
function as members of a high - performing PLC..
