Professional Learning Communities
A professional learning community or PLC is an opportunity for a group of colleagues within a specific field to participate in collaborative learning. Typically PLCs are used in schools as a way to organize teachers, students and/or community personnel into specific working groups where they can help enhance curriculum, share visions, contribute and encourage each other with the ultimate purpose of improving education. Professional learning communities are the joining of Professionalism and Community. It brings the specialized knowledge and focus of professionalism to the caring, responsibility and support within a group or a community.
