Professional Learning Community Train-the-Trainer
Description
The professional learning community (PLC) model gives schools a framework to build teacher capacity to work as members of high-performing, collaborative teams that focus on improving student learning. According to Eaker, DuFour, and DuFour (2002): "The framework of the Professional Learning Community model can be put into three themes. The school has to have a solid, shared mission, vision, values, and goals; collaborative teams that work interdependently to achieve common goals; and a focus on results as evidenced by a commitment to continuous improvement.”
