Whatever It Takes: How Professional Learning Communities Respond When Kids Don't Learn
Whatever It Takes: How Professional Learning Communities Respond When Kids Don t Learn audio book examines the question, What happens when, despite our best efforts in the classroom, a student does not learn? The text is read by a professional narrator and accented with lively musical transitions. A professional learning community creates a school-wide system of interventions that provides all students with additional time and support when they experience difficulty in their learning. The authors describe the systems of interventions, including Adlai E. Stevenson High School s Pyramid of Interventions, created by a high school, a middle school, and two elementary schools. The authors also discuss the logistical barriers these schools faced and their strategies for overcoming them.
