Professional Learning Communities

Click the link above to read an interesting article about PLCs!!



Professors Coral Mitchell and Larry Sackney have defined a professional learning community as one "where teachers and administrators take an active, reflective, collaborative, learning-oriented and growth-promoting approach to the mysteries and challenges of teaching and learning".

A PLC has come to mean "schools where the entire staff is involved in data-based decision making about student needs, where they define school goals and directions to meet those needs and engage in ongoing study, discussion, testing and reflection to change their practice".
