ED-4007A - The School as Learning Community in Elementary Education

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

The learning community paradigm is central to the development of improved pedagogy. Learning communities are effective models for improving schools and increasing student achievement. Professional development, collaborative groups, shared leadership, professional portfolios, and classroom evaluation all play a role in the design of a learning community. Once established, learning communities require work to sustain their value to the school.
