Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) is one way we can be connected educators. Often, teachers are assigned or form PLCs only to find that the learning community shifts from learning time to business time or gripe sessions. So what is a PLC and how to conduct them properly? Robert DuFour wrote an article for ASCD that answers these two questions.
“What is a Professional Learning Community” by Robert DuFour
If you are interested in establishing a face-to-face or virtual PLC (using Social Media such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Voxer, Google +, DEN Community, etc) Feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to help you establish a PLC or PLN (Personal/Professional Learning Network). Many areas have already created their own Google Classrooms. Thanks Band Directors, Strings and Middle School Art teachers for leading the way in collaboration. Finally, please note that 10% of your E3 is based on your participation in professional development.
