Lessons From New Jersey

The Garden State is giving educators a foundation for the creation of professional learning communities in schools! The New Jersey Professional Development Partnership has created A Common Language for Professional Learning Communities with three purposes in mind:

1. Provide a description of the essential terms most commonly used in shaping and discussion a PLC structure;
2. Invite all educations to share the understanding of terminology, purpose and processes involved in creating a PLC;
3. Enable educators to implement PLCs in their schools successfully to creating maximum learning for staff and students.
