Leading Professional Learning: Think 'system' and not 'individual school' if the goal is to fundamentally change the culture of schools
As we look back to where we began in this course where we established that Professional Learning Communities were a direct result of school reform, Mr. Fullan is re-visiting that concept and has some concerns. Among them is the implementation of the same.
He says, "What strikes me as more troublesome is that it [implementation] is turning out to be much more difficult that we thought to change cultures."
As you think about the future and your role and Mr. Fullan's remarks, how will you fulfill your role of "energizing others to make decisions and do good things" to perpetuate the future of PLCs?
