Product Description

Learning by Doing helps educators close the knowing-doing gap as they transform their schools into professional learning communities (PLCs). This handbook is a guide for action that will:

  • Help educators develop a common vocabulary and consistent understanding of key PLC concepts.
  • Present a compelling argument that the implementation of PLC concepts will benefit students and educators alike.
  • Help educators assess the current reality in their own schools and districts.
  • Convince educators to take purposeful steps to develop their capacity to function as PLCs.

Each chapter uses a six-part format to guide readers through the essential action steps for building their capacity to create and sustain PLCs.

  1. The Case Study: Learn about the issues and challenges schools and districts face when implementing PLC concepts. How would you respond?
  2. Here's How: Discover how educators bring PLC elements to life in their schools. The models help move you from concept to action.
  3. Here's Why: Review the research and rationale that supports PLC concepts. Learn what the experts say about best practices.
  4. Assessing Your Place on the PLC Journey: Assess your school's current practices. What is the PLC reality in your school?
  5. Tips for Moving Forward: Learn crucial tips and strategies for implementing PLC concepts.
  6. Questions to Guide the Work of Your PLC: Learn how to function as a PLC with questions to develop your collective capacity.

40 pages of reproducible assessment tools are available on the included CD-ROM and in print.
