=Kirbyville Professional Learning Community Page = Join the discussions as we begin the journey towards becoming a PLC.

**What is a PLC?**
It is a term that is often used to describe any group of professionals who are working in a group and learning together, but Rick DuFour defines it as, "Educators committed to working collaboratively in ongoing processes of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve. Professional learning communities operate under the assumption that the key to improved learning for students is continuous job-embedded learning for educators." //Learning by Doing (2006).// PLC is a journey, not a destination.  Schools don’t “do” PLCs; they **are** PLCs.  Would you like to learn more?   Try this link: []

The new pages: PD_community_continuum and monitoring_learning are notes from today's discussion in a table form that is much easier to read than in the discussion format. I deleted the discussions after creating these pages.

This voice thread is an excellent resource based on the newest PLC book, **Revisiting Professional Learning Communities at Work. []
