Data in this study was gathered using the SAI survey instrument, which was an
online, anonymous Likert scale tool. Information was collected and distributed to
individual schools, who then granted permission to the researcher to use that data.
Data for this research was then analyzed using statistical methods. The data
analysis determined that the Professional Learning Community model had no
significant effect on teacher perceptions regarding the three areas studied. The
knowledge gained in this study will add to the assessment of this particular reform
model as it applies to school improvement.
