Abstract
Research on educators’ professional learning communities (PLCs) suggest that while they often help teachers to make sense of student performance data, they tend to spend relatively little time studying what teachers actually do in the classroom. Evidence suggests that, given modest amounts of guidance and support, PLCs can collect useful data on teacher practice, and team members can identify specific, actionable ways in which to improve instruction.
