A Learning OrganizationA learning organization: “an
organization that is continually
expanding its capacity to create
it’s future…for learning
organizations, ‘adaptive
learning’ is joined by
‘generative learning,’ learning
that enhances our capacity to
create.
Peter Senge 1990, The Fifth
Discipline: The Art and Practice
of the Learning Organization

Professional Learning Communities
“… a group of teachers who meet
regularly as a team to identify essential
and valued student learning, develop
common formative assessments, analyze
current levels of achievement, set
achievement goals, share strategies, and
then create lessons to improve upon those
levels.” (The School Administrator 2004
vol. 61, issue 10, pp. 48-49, Schmoker
2004)

Professional Learning Communities
• “Educators who are building a professional learning community recognize that they must work together to achieve their collective purpose of learning for all.” (DuFour 2005)
• “Despite compelling evidence indicating that working collaboratively represents best practice, teachers in many schools continue to work in isolation.” (DuFour 2005)

A comment from the field…
“this plan will allow us to not only do what we do now better but
reshape what we do – I think this is an important distinction – this
investment is not about sustaining, it is about rethinking and reshaping our jobs and will allow us to better
deploy resources into the classroom”
