Drawing heavily on the work of Richard Dufour, author of Professional Communities at Work, this course will examine the tenets of a true Professional Learning Community and how a true PLC model can improve student achievement. The course proceeds from the premise that, although many schools are moving towards becoming fully collaborative, much work needs to be done to create a true professional learning community as a norm in our schools. Course participants will examine a process to implement a PLC in their schools; how to achieve “buy-in” from faculty and administration; how the PLC impacts student learning; and explore very practical ways that a PLC informs instruction, assessment and achievement. (This course will be held at the University College at Rockland)
