How to Develop PLCs for Singletons and Small Schools

How to Develop PLCs for Singletons and Small Schools addresses how singletons – solitary subject-area teachers – and small schools can achieve collective visions in forming teams in a PLC. PLCs carry great potential, but without careful implementation, they can foster divided cultures rather than collaborative ones. To better involve singletons and address small schools, author Aaron Hansen presents five methods for structuring PLC teams. With each method, he provides effective strategies and real teacher experiences detailing success with collaborative teams.
