Professional learning communities (PLCs) are groups of educators that collaborate with the goal of improving student outcomes. They work to continuously enhance their teaching practice through sharing ideas and acting on new learning. Key characteristics of effective PLCs include a shared vision around student success, collective responsibility, and focus on student learning through collaboration. When teachers engage in high-quality PLCs, it can lead to benefits like higher student achievement, more commitment to shared goals, and greater job satisfaction among staff.
