Every School, Every Team, Every Classroom: District Leadership for Growing Professional Learning Communities
Every School, Every Team, Every Classroomis a significant contribution to the growing body of work on the professional learning community process. It is more than the story of one district. The authors provide insights and ideas that will benefit any district or school that is engaged in implementing the PLC process. The reflective questions they present in each chapter can serve as a powerful catalyst for the thoughtful analysis and deep dialogue required to change the structure and culture of schooling. Educators who put the ideas of this book into practice are certain to improve the learning of both the students and adults in their schools. --Rick DuFour, author and consultantA great book that really gets to the bottom of PLCs. PLCs are reculturing, districtwide, relentlessly focused. Eaker and Keating's book is both comprehensive and detailed a remarkable accomplishment, with some of the best self-reflection questions you will ever see. --Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus, University of TorontoHow do we lead the work to create the kinds of schools we would want our own children to attend? From the boardroom to the classroom, Bob Eaker and Janel Keating have charted the course that we all must travel to achieve the goal of every child learning at high levels. They have laid out a clear vision of leading the learning in a systemwide professional learning community. --Marc Johnson, Superintendent, Sanger Unified School District, California; National Superintendent of the Year 2011
