Guskey, Professor of Educational PsychologyUniversity of Kentucky'This book places ′learning in community′ at the forefront of PLC work. The authors provide a treasure trove of cognitively engaging learning opportunities that build a communal knowledge base.'—Diane Zimmerman, SuperintendentOld Adobe Union School District, Petaluma, CA'Too often PLCs are treated as events.
