Kid by Kid, Skill by Skill: Teaching in a Professional Learning Community at Work | Robert Eaker, Janel Keating
While many books and articles have described what professional learning communities (PLCs) are and how they can positively impact school culture and student achievement, Kid by Kid, Skill by Skill: Teaching in a Professional Learning Community at Work(tm) by Robert Eaker and Janel Keating focuses specifically on teachers, who should be the central figures in PLC efforts. Eaker and Keating convey a thorough understanding of the role teachers must play in a PLC framework in order for a school to reach its aims. In order for PLC work to successfully effect student achievement, PLCs should seek high levels of both student and teacher learning. This book takes the teacher's perspective so that educators can fully visualize how a PLC framework can help them continually examine and improve the results of their work.
