Professional Learning Communities

The term professional learning community is increasingly being used in education circles to describe a valuable tool for communication and collaboration among teaching professionals.

We define a professional learning community as a shared online environment where teachers and administrative personnel – across schools, districts, and even international geographies –  can collaborate on curriculum, course development and trends in teaching, exchange ideas and best practices, and benefit from the collective knowledge of a connected network of teaching professionals.
