Four years ago, we began looking at a PLC model. The ideas of creating time within the timetable for teachers to work interdependently to develop common emphasized curricula and assessments, to utilize the resultant data to modify instructional practice, and to create an intervention system that ensured the success of each student were very topical for our school.
To build upon this, we are about to embark on a "Learning Leader Project" which focuses on networking and connecting educators so that they are able to shape their own learning based on personal interests.
