Every school, every team, every classroom district leadership for growing professional learning communities at work

What would a learning community look like "if we really meant it" when we committed to ensuring the learning of each student? What would we consider good enough for our own children? In "Every School, Every Team, Every Classroom," the authors suggest that these two questions drive plc leaders to embed plc at Work[TM] practices in their entire district. With a focus on creating simultaneous top-down and bottom-up leadership, you'll learn how to grow PLCs with concentrated direction and encouraging innovation at every level of the district. With many examples and reproducible tools, you'll see how effective district leaders, principals, and teams can work together to create a guaranteed and viable curriculum.
