- Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)
- Need
- Ugggh...... all these fancy devices and all these software's to learn, but nobody to help me integrate this technology in my classroom!
- Innovation
- We need to use the TPACK model!
- Yeah! We can share using Google!
- PLCs
- We should form a professional learning community here at the site?
- We can learn this if we get together as a group?
- Mike Mattos, Richard Dufour, Rebecca Dufour, & Robert Eaker - Architects of AllthingsPLC at Work!
- Research - Lead Thinkers
- Development
- “A school does not become a great place to learn until teachers have the leadership and support they need to create a collaborative culture. Teachers working together are more effective than even the best of them can be working alone” (National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future, 2012, p. 1).
- Intended audience district & site admin, teacher's and all support staff. Challenges encountered are school culture, perceptions, beliefs & resistance.
- Diffusion Process
- Educational thinkers Richard DuFour, Michael Fullan, and Anthony Muhammad, describe professional learning communities (PLC) as a process of cultural transformation.
- All teacher's and learners at Lindsay Unified count with 1:1 devices. The district's technology infrastructure is set in place, but the lack of support & collaboration with technology integration has many dissatisfied educator's.
- The innovation is to establish district and site based professional learning communities (PLCs) to transform school culture in technology integration by ongoing professional development using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework (TPACK), and via the free tools of Google resources for Educators.
- Professional learning community (PLC) An ongoing process in which educators work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. Professional learning communities operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for students is continuous job-embedded learning for educators.
- “The ability to collaborate—on both a small and large scale—is becoming one of the core requisites of postmodern society. . . . In short, without collaborative skills and relationships, it is not possible to learn and to continue to learn as much as you need in order to be an agent for social improvement” (Fullan, 1993, pp. 17–18).
- The distribution will be based on Roger's diffusion process of innovation by communicating about PLCs while using the network model above to create knowledge amongst district staff. First action is to communicate the innovation, create network PLCs, model integration by using Google for Educators, and utilize data driven research/ results to persuade laggards. Time is the second process of diffusion.
