Singletons in a PLC at Work®
Navigating On-Ramps to Meaningful Collaboration
Collaboration among teachers is key for school improvement and student success. Most teachers will collaborate in grade-level or course-alike teams in a PLC, but what about singletons—those teachers who do not have grade-level or course-alike peers? In this resource, singleton teachers will find creative entry points to form meaningful collaborative teams.
Practical strategies for eliminating teacher isolation and embracing meaningful collaborations
In a professional learning community, isolation is the enemy of school improvement. But what does collaboration among teachers look like when you can’t easily identify with a team? This book will help singleton teachers first develop clarity on learning essentials, then find creative entry points to form collaborative teams. Drawing from their own experiences, the authors offer practical solutions for eliminating the practice of isolation for all educators.
Collaborative teams will:
- Understand what meaningful collaboration is and how singletons can utilize the PLC process
- Build the groundwork for meaningful collaboration using strategies for your specific situation
- Implement meaningful collaboration as a singleton across separate schools or within the same school
- Align disparate singletons under the same unifying PLC process
