Transformative Collaboration
Drawing from the best-selling Australian book, Transformative Collaboration: 5 Commitments for Leading a PLC, this leadership program challenges and supports system leaders, principals, assistant principals, team leaders, instructional coaches and team leaders/facilitators to learn, develop and apply the critical commitments required to successfully lead the implementation of PLCs for genuine school transformation.
More specifically this professional learning service enables leaders to learn how Professional Learning Communities utilise collaborative practices as the key lever for cultural and structural change that directly improves student and teacher learning. They learn the five commitments leaders embrace with the goal of becoming a high-performing PLC and are provided with tips and strategies on how to ‘put people first’ when engaging in second order change. Commitments explored include understanding what it means to be a PLC, leading with courage, building a climate of trust, committing to high leverage structural changes and using protocols to enhance professional dialogue in and for collaborative teams.
