The Kentucky Instructional Leadership Team Network assists schools and districts in the development and operation of instructional leadership teams that operate as a “professional learning community (PLC).” The network engages the entire group of professionals in coming together for learning within a supportive, district/school-created community. Teacher and administrator professional learning is more meaningful and focused when conducted in a social setting, where team members can collaborate, share their ideas, serve as critical friends, and process new information with each other. When new ideas are processed in interaction with others, multiple sources of knowledge and expertise expand and test the new concepts as part the learning experience. The professional learning community provides a setting that is richer and more stimulating.
