Riassunto

Learning by Doing is a guide to help educators take ACTION. After working with schools throughout the U.S. and Canada, the authors discovered that "schools that take the plunge and actually begin doing the work of a PLC develop their capacity to help all students learn at high levels far more effectively than schools that spend years preparing to become PLCs through reading or even training."

This handbook is a guide for action that will: help educators develop a common vocabulary and consistent understanding of key PLC concepts, present a compelling argument that the implementation of PLC concepts will benefit students and educators alike, help educators assess the current reality in their own schools and districts, and convince educators to take purposeful steps to develop their capacity to function as PLCs.
