• Information found: ("A Professional Learning Community, or PLC is an extended learning opportunity to foster collaborative learning among colleagues within a particular work environment or field. It is often used in schools as a way to organize teachers into working groups. PLCs have many variations. In one definition PLCs 'extend ... classroom practice into the community; bringing community personnel into the school to enhance the curriculum and learning tasks for students; or engaging students, teachers, and administrators simultaneously in learning.' Richard Dufour, a recognized national expert in PLCs, finds that 'To create a professional learning community, focus on learning rather than on teaching, work collaboratively, and hold yourself accountable for results.' The Ontario Ministry of Education defines a PLC as 'a shared vision or running a school in which everyone can make a contribution, and staff are encouraged to collectively undertake activities and reflection in order to constantly improve their students' performance.'")
