Professional Learning Communities

• reduced isolation of teachers
• better informed and committed teachers
• academic gains for students
• powerful staff-development approach and a potent strategy for school change and improvement
• Professional Developement that fits your schedule and needs

"The term professional learning community has become quite commonplace in education circles. The term describes a collegial group who are united in their commitment to an outcome. In the case of education, the commitment would be to student learning."

Technology has provided educators with unlimited tools that make it possible to connect and teach in new and exciting ways!

"These same forces offer the opportunity for new models for the professional growth of teachers. Learning communities share a way of knowing, a set of practices, and shared value of the knowledge that comes from these procedures. These learning communities, with expanded human and technological resources, bring together students, teachers, and community members in directing the course of education in new ways."

Jump right in! Don't be intimidated. Click, learn, grow! There are a profusion of resources at your fingertips, but the collaborating and learning doesn't start until the clicking begins!
