A professional learning
communities (PLC), is a group of educators (mostly teachers) that meets
regularly, shares expertise and works collaboratively to improve teaching
skills and the academic performance of the students. This was based on the simple idea
that; students learn more when their teachers collaborate to share their expertise in teaching them.
Building a PLC is a proven way for schools to increase student
learning by creating a culture that is:
1. Focused on continuous improvement of learners by linking the learning needs
of learners with the professional learning and practice of facilitators
2. Committed to high professionalism in the service
3. Empowered by collaborative expertise.
In
view of doing this a digital platform that is a web page and a mobile
application has been
deployed by the Ghana Education Service to help heads and the curriculum leads
of the various school to write their reports on all the PLCs they carry out
throughout the term and the academic year to the various head offices.
