How can you take the concept of a learning community from theory to the school building? This how-to guide walks you through the process of establishing a PLC step by step over a flexible timeline of nine to twelve months.

Leadership and organizational development specialists Stephen S. Kaagan and Linda Headley provide school and council leaders with a concrete road map and numerous tools for creating and sustaining a PLC focused on improving student learning. Readers will find everything they need to get a PLC up and running, including:

- Specific tasks that help educators "learn by doing" as they create a PLC

- Practice exercises for conducting productive meetings, building individual and group communication skills, and shaping the group's identity

- Brief case studies of problems encountered by educators to spark discussion and support educators' growth as learners and leaders

- Guidelines for appropriately pacing the chapters, tasks, and exercises with your faculty

Bringing Your Learning Community to Life is an invaluable manual for building capacity and carrying out the work of creating an effective, sustainable PLC focused on continuous improvement.

Industry Reviews

"This book is structured for the busy educator! The authors invite readers to journey toward professionalizing learning spaces. From the beginning of the journey (wherever you are) through the high points, low points, midpoint, and endpoint, the reader is converted to the PLC way. A must-read for staff developers, instructional coaches, school improvement coordinators, and human relations specialists." -- Marian White-Hood, Director of Academics, See Forever Foundation "Excellent cases support and clarify each point, and the examples are very true to life and useful to the reader. The timeframes were also very true to life-change does not occur overnight, and the book clearly states this" -- Ginnie Drouin, Principal
