For more than a decade education practitioners have promoted the professional learning community (PLC) as an effective way to provide professional development to teachers (Chappuis, Chappuis, & Stiggins, 2009; DuFour, Eaker, & DuFour, 2005). Though the term “professional learning community” has been used to describe many forms of learning communities (Talbert, 2010), in practice, PLCs are teams of educators (most commonly teachers) who meet regularly (often but not always during sched uled school time) to develop lesson plans, examine student work, monitor student progress, assess the effectiveness of instruction, and identify their professional learning needs. These collaborative teams expose teachers to new ideas and practices and can improve their pedagogy through a process of critical reflection (Hord, 1997; Wood, 2007). The goal is to boost student achievement by cultivating PLCs that can improve teaching and classroom practices.
