Publisher's Synopsis
"Professional learning communities (PLCs) provide the best possible environment for student learning and growth, but the need for virtual and hybrid classrooms has made it challenging for PLCs to thrive. With their book Virtual PLCs: A Guide to Effectively Implementing Online and Hybrid Teaching and Learning, authors Paul C. Farmer and Dennis King provide a thorough guide for implementing the PLC process in virtual and hybrid classrooms. Included in this book are discussions on basic PLC principles, the four pillars of a PLC, and PLC leadership, all within the context of virtual or hybrid learning. The book also touches on how to maintain school culture through virtual school and how to ensure the PLC goal of high levels of student learning is present no matter what the classroom looks like. Education is evolving beyond the four walls of a classroom, and Virtual PLCs ensures the PLC process will evolve right along with it"--.
