Professional Learning Communities • NOTEBOOK – for each PLC -Information sheet – Gold. • Professional Learning Community(from Education Reform, 3/3/14) A professional learning community, or PLC, is a group of educators that meets regularly, shares expertise, and works collaboratively to improve teaching skills and the academic performance of students.  Shirley Hord, an expert on school leadership, came up with perhaps the most efficient description of the strategy: “The three words explain the concept: Professionals coming together in a group—a community—to learn.” • Purposes • Shared Roles/Responsibilities • Activities • Commitment.
