Hanna Coleman on 18 Jun 13Hi Molly, This article gave a helpful overview of learning communities. I specifically found value in the section focusing on collective responsibility. Participation is key in learning communities and includes feedback, clear communication, collaboration, trust, shared focus, and accountability. Educators need to invest in their learning community and teach students how to utilize technologies in order to do so. Thanks for sharing, Hanna

Casey Capece on 20 Jun 13Hi Molly - Another part that plays into the development of learning communities is the creation of policies to set formal accountability for student learning. This was the first resource that I have come across that mentions about policies, visions, and goals - you almost forget that still needs to be in place!

Ilene Reed on 20 Jun 13Greetings Molly, Thank you for sharing this article. I especially liked the video. In a perfect world all grades and subjects would be aligned. I think most schools attempt continual improvement by evaluating student data. I hope. I like the idea of owning students in such a way as to be responsible for all student learning. Good article.
