Charting the Course for Collaborative Teams

"Charting the Course for Collaborative Teams: Lessons From Priority Schools in a PLC at Work provides educators with the knowledge, tools, and insight to significantly improve schools labeled as priority schools-schools where most students struggle to meet district or state standards and low achievement persists. The book advocates that to truly support the belief that all students can learn at high levels, educators must focus on and develop their capacities to act collaboratively within the professional learning community (PLC) process. With this commitment to high achievement for all, editor Sharon V.

By reading this book, teachers and collaborative teams will explore best practices and research-based solutions to face barriers and challenges associated with priority schools"--
