Professional Learning Communities

Hello all,

In 2019 we are prioritizing the work of PLC’s in our school by allocating an after school session to the work of PLC’s or Collaborative Inquiries. This post will outline the session and include many of the resources that we have at our disposal for PLC’s.

Here is the presentation.


The following Reading is a part of the presentation. It is a short succinct summary of what a professional Learning Community is. [embeddoc url=”https://bspsstaff.global2.vic.edu.au/files/2019/02/PLC-Article-DuFour-2ktp89r.pdf” download=”all” viewer=”google” ]

There has also been a common Collaborative Inquiry Meeting Template that we will use when we meet. These have been created within Google Drive. You simply need to create a new document ‘from template’ in Google Drive. It is also important to decide upon some ‘group norms’ for Collaborative Inquiry Sessions. Here is a website with many examples which would be appropriate to CI meetings
