- Big Idea A Focus on Results Professional Learning Communities
judge their effectiveness on a basis of results. Working together
to improve student achievement becomes the routine work of everyone
in the school. Every teacher-team participates in an ongoing
process of identifying the current level of student achievement,
establishing a goal to improve the current level, working together
to achieve that goal, and providing periodic evidence of progress.

- Big Idea Ensuring That Students Learn The professional learning
community model flows from the assumption that the core mission of
formal education is not simply to ensure that students are taught
but to ensure that they learn. This simple shift from a focus on
teaching to a focus on learning has profound implications for
schools. (DuFour)
