Recenzii
“Although
research
on
the
effectiveness
of
professional
learning
communities
(PLCs)
can
best
described
as
‘mixed,’
one
thing
is
clear:
they
accomplish
nothing
without
strong,
knowledgeable,
and
courageous
leadership.
To
improve
teaching
quality
and
student
learning
outcomes,
someone
has
to
take
the
reins
and
lead
the
effort
with
intelligence,
skill,
sensitivity,
and
a
clear
sense
of
purpose.
This
book
offers
the
‘why’
and
the
‘how’
to
those
willing
to
take
on
the
challenge.”
"One weekend morning, I sat down with my cup of coffee to read a book, and much to my delight, two hours later, I had not read a book, but rather mapped out a learning plan for an entire year. The best gift of all, everything I will need is right here in this book. When you sit down to read this book, make sure you have a calendar at your side. Get ready to go on a shopping spree of ideas; like all good shoppers choose wisely, for there is no way you can possibly use all of the ideas in this book in one year. I assure you, you will not have buyer’s remorse!"
“Too often PLCs are treated as events. The authors of this fine book make clear that an authentic PLC is neither an event nor a name. It is about embracing a form of leadership and learning in schools that requires fearless examination of teaching practices, faculty interactions, and student learning toward the goal of increased successful student learning. The book is so rich with information, resources, and learning activities revealing how this can be accomplished that it could serve as syllabus for a graduate course in school improvement.”

There she directed the Strategies for Increasing Student Success Program. She continues to design and coordinate professional development activities related to educational change and improvement, school leadership, and the creation of professional learning communities.
Her early roles as elementary school classroom teacher and university science education faculty at The University of Texas at Austin were followed by her appointment as co-director of Research on the Improvement Process at the Research and Development Center for Teacher Education at The University of Texas at Austin. There she administered and conducted research on school improvement and the role of school leaders in school change.
She served as a fellow of the National Center for Effective Schools Research and Development and was U.S. representative to the Foundation for the International School Improvement Project, an international effort that develops research, training, and policy initiatives to support local school improvement practices.
In addition to working with educators at all levels across the U.S. and Canada, Hord makes presentations and consults in Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Mexico.
Her current interests focus on the creation and functioning of educational organizations as learning communities and the role of leaders who serve such organizations.
