Learn, do, and lead with the guidance of Formative Tools for Leaders in
a PLC at Work(R) by Kim Bailey and Chris Jakicic. With this practical
resource, you'll first discover how to gather evidence from staff about
PLC practices, processes, and products. Then you'll explore how to use
that evidence to gauge the effectiveness of your professional learning
community (PLC) and make informed and targeted decisions about your
collective next steps for a school culture of continuous improvement.
This book will teach you how to implement professional learning
communities more effectively: ●
- Discover how to gather formative evidence from a number of sources to
implement collaborative structures and a schoolwide change process.
- Understand how to use the three stages of assessing, analyzing, and
acting as a formative feedback loop to improve instructional
practices.
- Gain clarity on what makes a successful professional learning
community and where to focus your school's energy and effort moving
forward.
- Access tools and templates designed to support and strengthen team
practices in order to shape school culture and ensure learning for all
students.

PLC.
