Foundation for Change

In their haste to help students, many schools often gloss over the foundational work of professional learning communities (PLCs). In The Foundation for Change, educators learn how to transform their school's mission, vision, values, and goals to frame the mindsets and actions in a PLC that lead to school improvement and high levels of learning for all.

This book helps K12 teachers, leaders, and administrators:

• Follow the journey of one school as it moves through the steps of the PLC at Work® process
• Understand how educators can contribute to developing and integrating the four pillars into classroom practice
• Clarify the role of the guiding coalition in implementing the four pillars as the foundation for changing school culture
• Reflect on chapter content with end-of-chapter questions for deeper learning
• Gain practical templates, charts, and other reproducible tools and resources
