PDI Summary
Often teachers work in isolation. Learning occurs in their classroom with their students, however, opportunities for personal growth and collaboration as a professional is left to chance. Participants will develop an understanding of their role and responsibility for contributing to the culture and environment that shifts the possibility for those intentional conversations to occur through the development of a Professional Learning Community (PLC). The success of a PLC depends upon a clear and focused mission and vision which guides school-wide learning focused work. Participants will develop strategies for developing shared ownership of this process for crafting their mission and vision. The dimensions of a PLC will be explored and participants will examine personal beliefs that can impact the success of a PLC. Through group work, discussion, video and reflection, experienced practitioners will model and share leadership strategies that will contribute foundational knowledge toward the development and sustainability of a PLC.
