A PLC is a collaborative venture.
“Isolation is the enemy of learning. Principals who support the learning of adults in their school organize teachers schedules to provide opportunities for teachers to work, plan, and think together.”
NAESP, Leading Learning Communities: Standards for What Principals Should Know and Be Able to Do
A PLC is always focused on student learning.
“In a professional learning community…attempts at school improvement are judged on the basis of how student learning is affected.”
Robert Eaker, Richard DuFour, and Rebecca DuFour, Getting Started: Reculturing Schools to Become Professional Learning Communities
“…ultimately, a learning organization is judged by results.”
