As an educational leader, you will be required to improve individual teacher performance as well as the performance of particular programs, grade levels, departments, and entire schools or school districts. PLCs provide an opportunity for teachers to always be learning from each other and improve based on collected student performance data, best-practice research, collegial discussions, and teaching experience. You, as the educational leader, will need to convey the value of PLCs to your staff while developing and implementing PLCs throughout a school or school district. In today’s challenging, ever-changing, and demanding educational environment within schools, educational leaders need to fully utilize the power of PLCs to positively affect teacher and student performance.
