It provides simple strategies to infuse educational environments with rich resources that lead to growing PLCs and CoPs.

Dennis Large on 22 Jun 13Thanks for sharing this Cate. I follow CoSN and am usually up on their stuff, but I had not seen this resource. I love the fact that it includes action steps for superintendents. Too often that level of leadership is left out, then people wonder why change is not really taking place.
