Recenzii

  Analyzing common assessment results through the data-driven decision making process in order to adjust instruction and improve student learning is the essential purpose of a true PLC. The value of McWherter’s book is in its practical, how-to approach that all administrators and teachers can follow to ensure that their PLCs are functioning at maximum potential: laying the proper foundation first, following established protocols, and avoiding the pitfalls that block effective collaboration.
  • Larry Ainsworth, author of Common Formative Assessments 2.0: How Teacher Teams Intentionally Align Standards, Instruction, and Assessment


"A Road Map to PLC Success is a great tool for educational leaders and administrators. It breaks down the steps in creating or revamping the Professional Learning Community (PLC) in the school setting.　PLCs have been around and well-established for over a decade, yet most are not meeting their full potential. This book helps leaders understand the process of creating a successful PLC. It offers real-life examples and is easily readable. I’d highly recommend for anyone wanting to start the PLC process or revive their current PLC."
  • Amy Ramsdell, Ed.D., Assistant Principal, Ozark High School, MO
