In this issue:
Many principals are searching for ways to get schools to the next
level. Leaders who build true Professional Learning Communities
understand the power of going beyond the buzzwords. It takes time, of
course, and skills, commitment, and a clear sense of purpose to get
there. But it is worth it. We have found over and over again working
with all kinds of schools, that when the instructional leader takes the
steps, the results are outstanding in terms of culture, community, and
student achievement.
