Professional community is the
time in which teachers come together to talk about their work.
In small teams maybe five, six, seven people together
they may be brought together by a grade level or they may be together because
of the subject content area.
But the come together and they're spending time to talk about what
practices they use in instruction.
What kind of data they might use to inform their
their teaching and how
students are learning as a result of their instruction.
So is, as teachers come together in professional learning communities they
are bettering themselves as
as instructors.
Then one thing we also know is that there is
no
time at which even a veteran teacher can't
improve his or her instruction. That's
something that we know all teachers can always get better.
And knowing that and getting that
message
into the schools that the principals support all teachers to be better
instructors is something that would be a goal for all for all principals and
all teachers.
