Professional Learning Communities: The Ultimate Blueprint for Academic Success

Professional Learning Communities charts a streamlined process for creating a PLC. The highest mission of a professional learning community is academic achievement. During Dr. Culp’s forty-plus years in education, she gained firsthand experience about the best way to build and sustain educational communities. Inclusiveness, strong relationships, and accountability should be woven into the fabric of the group right from the beginning.
This book lays out a blueprint for thoughtful actions that transform schools and their communities. Using ideas and techniques focused on six key areas, educators discover what needs to be taught, what needs to be retaught, and who needs to be taught. Their PLCs build solutions that place academic excellence within reach of every learner.
Real experiences from schools across the nation, as well as Dr. Culp’s decades of experience, have been mined to generate actionable steps. Each chapter ends with a collection of charts, worksheets, checklists, and tips that can be implemented immediately. Professional Learning Communities is the concise go-to guide that maps your path to lasting results and true success.
