Abstract:
The author states that "Professional Learning Communities" (PLC's) are among the most powerful tools for improving schools and classrooms. PLCs allow teachers to collaborate with their colleagues in planning instruction and provide support for each other and for their students. Lookjed, a virtual learning community, gathers participants with unique expertise and experience, while offering diverse perspectives.
