Therefore, this research article aims to; 1) to create innovation to drive the professional learning community process for small educational institutions and remote areas, 2) to apply innovations in driving the professional learning community process to network educational institutions, small educational institutions, and remote areas, and 3) to confirm innovation in driving the professional learning community process for small educational institutions and remote areas.It is research and development, and the sample was drawn from purposive selection of small educational institutions in Phetchabun Province, Phichit Province, and Nan Province, totaling 7 locations, confirm the format by referencing qualified experts. The tools used in the research include; seminar recording form on innovation creation, workshop project manual, workshop project evaluation form, and opinion questionnaire. Statistics used include; percentage value; average; standard deviation; and analyze content.The results of the research found that; 1) Innovation driven process of professional learning community for small educational institutions and remote areas that are built there are 6 aspects; management, teacher and personnel development, environment and learning management atmosphere, co-leadership, learning management and professional development and Applying learning outcomes to improve learner quality.

It is feasible, useful and theoretically accurate 100 percentages. The researcher offers the following recommendations on how to apply the research study's findings to promote better educational management; 1) until learners are able to develop themselves to their full potential, driving the professional learning community process for small educational institutions and remote areas should give educational institutions, teachers, and students opportunities to creatively design learning together, this can be done by creating a professional learning community development plan that is clear and appropriate to the context of learners, and 2) teachers should use innovation to guide the process of professional learning communities for distant and small educational institutions, build routine research to be varied, fulfill the requirements of students, and empower students to be social innovators.
