Overview

25 years on, the PLC at Work® process continues to produce results across the United States and worldwide. In this fourth edition of the bestseller Learning by Doing, the authors use updated research and time-tested knowledge to address current education challenges, from learning gaps exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic to the need to drive a highly effective multitiered system of supports.


This book will help K-12 administrators, school leaders, and teacher teams:
  • Build shared knowledge of both critical vocabulary and the concepts underlying the key PLC terms
  • Learn new, more in-depth strategies for coaching in a PLC at Work
  • Make honest assessments of student learning, examine their school culture, and implement conventional practices from a fresh, critical perspective
  • Take immediate and specific steps to close the knowing-doing gap and implement PLC concepts in their school and district
  • Recognize that the knowledge needed to support students in achieving higher levels is readily available, and the next step is to transform this awareness into an action plan for school improvement
  • Follow the step-by-step format outlined in each chapter to advance their school's PLC journey and drive continuous improvement
