According to Rick DuFour, creating collaborative professional learning communities is key to continuous improvment. He should know. He took Eisenhower High School from obscurity to one of the most award winning schools in the world by finding time for his educators to plan, collaborate, set new goals, and problem solve as an ongoing component of the school day. Join in this session of IPLA Today! to learn how other schools have solved the problem of where to find the time to make professional development job-embedded and ongoing. We will also share processes for effective collaboration including a descriptive review process to use when colleagues examine student work together and a protocol for reviewing lesson plans with the purpose of strengthening them.
