Professional Learning Communities
When teachers learn, students learn. Teaching quality is improved
through continuous professional learning. In order to remain effective
in today's classroom, teachers must be continuously looking at
strategies to improve their practice. The needs of society and of our
students continue to change. Professional development is crucial and
today, the most promising context for continuous professional learning
is the professional learning community. In 2010, the Minister of
Education struck a committee - the Professional Learning Communities
(PLC) Study Committee - to study this topic and make recommendations to
government. The report of the PLC Study Committee can be found on the
Department of Education website at:
