MESD tagline: We Support All Students to Achieve Excellence

Professional Learning Communities

Home > Services > School Improvement Services > Professional Learning Communities

Our goal is to support MESD elementary and secondary schools in the successful implementation of Professional Learning Communities in order to promote higher level learning for all students.

Background
A Professional Learning Community focuses on learning rather than teaching, works collaboratively, and holds itself accountable for results. Many schools get off to a good start but are challenged and become discouraged by the obstacles in their path to improving student achievement. Our intent in supporting school teams is to support their work in alignment of their school practices to promote higher levels of learning for their students through a collaborative process.
