Handbook
Creating and Sustaining
a Professional Learning
Community

“The most promising strategy for sustained, substantive school

improvement is developing the ability for school personnel to
function as Professional Learning Communities.’’
-DuFour & Eaker, 1998, “PLC At Work”
What are the Professional Learning Communities?

Professional Learning Communities are groups of teachers who meet regularly as

a team to analyze current levels of achievement, set of achievement goals,
identify essential and valued student leaning, and develop common formative and
common summative assessments, share strategies, and research best practices.
The expectation is that this collaborative effort will produce ongoing
improvement in student achievement.

Why collaborate with Professional Learning Communities?

“A team can make better decisions, solve more complex problems, and do more
to enhance creativity and build skills than individuals working alone… They have
become the vehicle for moving organization into the future… Teams are not just
nice to have. They are hard –core units of the production “ (Blanchard, 2007).

In order to achieve the goal of increase student achievement, members of the

PLC need to define and answer the following key questions:

What do we want student to learn?

How will we know if they have learned it?

What will we do if they do not learn it?

What will we do if they already know it?

The purpose of PLC is for teachers to develop new understanding and apply
it to their classroom to raise student achievement. Increased student
achievement is the indicator of a successful PLC.
