What Is a "Professional Learning Community"? // Richard DuFour on 2009-08-31
- When a school begins to function as a professional learning community, however, teachers become aware of the incongruity between their commitment to ensure learning for all students and their lack of a coordinated strategy to respond when some students do not learn
- Every three weeks, every student receives a progress report.
- 3 more annotations...
- - Collaborative conversations call on team members to make public what has traditionally been private—goals, strategies, materials, pacing, questions, concerns, and results. These discussions give every teacher someone to turn to and talk to, and they are explicitly structured to improve the classroom practice of teachers—individually and collectively.
  - Teachers work in collaborative teams for 90 minutes daily to clarify the essential outcomes of their grade levels and courses and to align those outcomes with state standards.
  - Each year, the teams pore over the results of the state test, which are broken down to show every teacher how his or her students performed on every skill and on every test item.
