Leadership in Professional Learning Communities at Work

Set includes DVD, Facilitator's Guide and CD-ROM. The educators in this video share experience-based insight into the principal's responsibility to create the conditions that allow staff to continually build their capacity to ensure learning for all. They demonstrate the importance of dispersed leadership and mutual accountability between leaders and staff, and they address the necessity to provide clarity and coherence for staff by aligning the structure and culture of the school with its core purpose. PLC principals discuss how to balance between loose and tight leadership, implement change, and confront resisters. The video can be viewed alone or in teams. Activities in the Facilitator's Guide extend the learning for teams into a three-hour, hands-on workshop.
