Overview

In this unit you will engage in discourse with other educational professionals about various ideas relative to PLC adoption and sustainability. You will then develop your own PLC by following a rubric to help you create an effective design. As you have learned, this process is highly involved and slow-growing. You are encouraged to reflect periodically about your PLCs progress.

Objectives

  • Learners will engage in meaningful discussion surrounding the topic of PLCs with a community of educational professionals
  • Learners will synthesize their learning by creating a PLC within their own school community
