Professional Learning Communities (PLCs. When the District and the Association deem necessary, representatives shall convene an advisory committee to review Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s). The guidelines for committee work are found in the Committees Memorandum of Agreement.
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs. The Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are job-alike groups of administrators that provide an opportunity for meeting on a regular basis to discuss items of mutual interest, engage in mean- ingful professional development activities, and engage in and model collaborative decision making. The program is designed to provide a forum for participants to gain diverse perspectives on issues related to student achievement, build capacity of all PLC members, and create a structure for two-way communication with schools and central services to share information and give and receive feed- back. Participation in the PLCs is supported by the parties and is viewed as a critical professional growth opportunity which enhances members’ understanding of the current and future needs of the organization, while building on the relationships of professional colleagues.
