Synopsis

In the foreword to Dr. Chad Dumas’ book, Let’s Put the C in PLC, Todd Whitaker states: “What distinguishes truly great principals from their counterparts is that they do differently.” Action is what makes all the difference.

This Action Guide will help you translate the knowledge and research on how to improve educational outcomes in Let’s Put the C in PLC into reality and action.

Designed for individual reflection, personal development, group study, seminars, and other professional learning formats — and combined with practical information, skills, specific tools, and helpful stories from the book — this Action Guide provides:

• Reflective questions to increase your personal effectiveness
• Challenge exercises to put the learning into practice
• Planning tools to close both knowing and doing gaps

It is not enough to know. We must also do. Let’s put the C in PLC!
