Dear IU9 PLC Book Study Participants,
Let's begin our effective professional development by expanding our knowledge of PLC's. We will be reading the following books: Assignments are listed accordingly in the chart above. Please make comments on your readings following these discussion points:
 * __**Getting Started: Reculturing Schools to Become Professional Learning Communities**__ - Robert Eaker, Richard DuFour, Rebecca DuFour
 * __**Professional Learning Communities at Work: Best Practices for Enhancing Student Achievement**__ - Richard DuFour, Robert Eaker
 * __**Transforming Professional Development into Student Results**__ - Douglas Reeves
 * What was learned
 * Aha! moments
 * Personal connections to past successes or breakdowns
 * Actions we might be taking in our individual districts
