16. The PLC Journey Vision into practice "You don't change performance without changing the instructional core,"
(Professor Richard Elmore)
"The relationship of the teacher and the student in the presence of content must be at the centre of efforts to improve performance."
17. The PLC Journey Vision into practice "You can't alter the skill and knowledge of the teacher when you stay in a low-level curriculum. If you alter the content without changing the skill and knowledge of teachers, you are asking teachers to teach to a level that they don't have the skill and knowledge to teach to. If you do either one of those things without changing the role of the student in the instructional process, the likelihood that students will ever take control of their own learning is pretty remote."
(Professor Richard Elmore)
