    Richard DuFour, Rebecca DuFour and Robert Eaker revisited their work on PLCs and published a sequel to their book on PLCs. In the sequel, they discuss their thoughts, "New Insights" on PLCs. The publisher, Solution Tree provides an "Action Guide" to assist the reader in understanding the findings/discussions described in the new book.

PLC learning focus on learning

    A PLC focuses on learning instead of on teaching, drastically changing the role of the  principal. Principals continue to observe instruction, discussing issues such as pacing,  instructional data, support needed, and student efficacy. But the focus is on the instructional  results instead of on the instruction itself

    Listen: When teachers say they are overwhelmed with district and school mandates, take the time to evaluate these concerns. Teaching under the very best of conditions is complicated. It requires time for planning, professional development, and collaboration. The emotional wear and tear of the job can be exhausting

  • The following is a “laundry list” of recommendations Community Developers should consider in the creation of their social community.

      Sounds like the directions to set up a digital professional learning community with staff and faculty. 
  • Adopt a paradigm that views the community construction process as one of co-design that compliments and enhances your organization’s mission and values.
  • Create an emergent, evolving co-design with the collaboration of your intended members in developing a shared vision, community niche, and ongoing feedback loop on ways to improve design and usability.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Utilization of a loose governance through light leadership roles in the initial launch, such as, community organizer, expert voice/subject matter expert, cognitive coaches, moderator/facilitator, help desk or support. Then build to an evolving leadership pattern that focuses on self-directed learning and self-governance.

      Cognitive coaches and support. Then comes self-direction. 
  • Careful selection of a community organizer who should have passion, vision, enthusiasm, a clear understanding of professional practice, who is visionary and must not be afraid of innovation or changes
  • Creation of profile customization, identity tools, subgroup areas and activities to build trust and sense of community
  • Creation of a tool set that should enable like-minded individuals to form subgroups around shared goals and interests
  • Tools not rules – When possible use tools to help members self-govern
  • Inclusion of expert voices with name recognition that will bring newcomers and experienced community members together to share and learn from each other
  • Initiate regular content around relevant provocative issues and help members develop a sense of ownership

  • Organize Staff Into Meaningful Teams Provide Teams With Time to Collaborate Provide Supportive Structures That Help Groups Become Teams Clarify the Work Teams Must Accomplish Monitor the Work of Teams and Provide Direction and Support as Needed Avoid Shortcuts in the Collaborative Team Process Celebrate Short-Term Wins, and Confront Those Who Do Not Contribute to Their Teams
  • The same can be said of the PLC process with its emphasis on a collaborative culture.  There is growing recognition that the process represents a powerful strategy for improving student achievement, but bringing it to life in the real world of schools remains difficult.  Educators are asked to change long-standing assumptions, expectations, and habits regarding schooling.  They are asked to relate to colleagues and students in new ways.  They are called upon to abandon the tradition of pursuing the latest educational fad and instead are asked to sustain a commitment to a very different way of operating schools – forever.
