About this title

About the Author:

This anthology is written by 13 practitioners, many from award-winning and nationally recognized schools, who are Solution Tree Professional Learning Communities at Work Associates. These practitioners have done the work and believe that implementing PLC at Work concepts is the best platform for sustained, substantive school improvement. PLC Associates are hand-selected by best-selling authors and renowned PLC experts Richard DuFour, Robert Eaker, and Rebecca DuFour. These educational leaders provide documented evidence of increased student achievement in the districts and/or schools they work with using the PLC at Work model. They each partner with Solution Tree to provide a variety of high-quality professional development services from one day, on-site training sessions to large-scale conferences to long-term programs to schools and districts working to transform into PLCs. Hailing from across the U.S. and Canada, these successful superintendents, district-level administrators, principals, and teachers all possess an in-depth knowledge of how to build and sustain PLCs. Using best-practice strategies, PLC Associates align the practices of the district or school through collaborative teams and systematic processes in order to promote higher levels of learning for all students.
