Professional Learning Community in Education


Teachers!

Can we develop a professional learning community that spans the globe?  I think we CAN!

Here are some research-based benefits:

  • reduction of isolation of teachers
  • increased commitment to school and vigor in working
  • shared responsibility for student success
  • powerful learning the defines good teaching
  • new knowledge and beliefs about teachers and learners
  • increased meaning and understanding of the role of teachers
  • higher likelihood that teachers ill be well informed, professionally renewed, and inspired
  • more satisfaction and higher morale
  • lower rates of absenteeism
  • advances into making teacher adaptations for students
  • commitment to making significant, lasting, and systemic change in education
WOW!  I think it is worth a try!  I know that it will help the children that we can touch in the developing world and in Kelowna!

With HOPE!
