Summary

A Leader¿s Companion is a collection of inspirational quotes that provide daily motivation for teachers and administrators on their PLC journey. These quotes are taken from from the authors¿ previous books: ¿ Getting Started: Reculturing Schools to Become Professional Learning Communities ¿ Learning by Doing: A Handbook for Professional Learning Communities at WorkTM ¿ On Common Ground: The Power of Professional Learning Communities ¿ Professional Learning Communities at WorkTM: Best Practices for Enhancing Student Achievement ¿ Professional Learning Communities at WorkTM Plan Book ¿ Whatever It Takes: How Professional Learning Communities Respond When Kids Don¿t Learn This book is beautifully packaged. It is hardbound with a dustjacket. The binding under the jacket is red and black, in faux cloth and leather, embossed with gold foil on the spine. Endpapers are acid-free grey paper; the text is printed in black and brick red on creamy paper. A Leader¿s Companion is designed to inspire and motivate educators new to a school, or those who are implementing or sustaining professional learning community concepts and practices in their schools. Because the PLC journey is a process, this collection of the ¿big ideas¿ keeps teachers and administrators focused on the daily work that drives a PLC, recommits them to their chosen profession (and reminds them why they chose it), and sustains their enthusiasm for the journey.
