Question

Discuss how PLCs support teacher development within the school context

Answer 1

Teachers play an integral role in today’s learning institutions due to their capacity to deal with diverse students’ needs. The role of teachers centers the goal of a Professional Learning Community (PLC) of ensuring teacher development by facilitating integration of technology in the classroom and interdepartmental collaborations. A PLC ensures that teachers are onboard training programs and workshops focused on shared values and collaboration by stakeholders in the modern classroom set-up. Similarly, administrative stakeholders within the PLC have the mandate of ensuring the welfare of the teachers through reflective sessions and inquires targeting areas of competence, rewards, burnout and teaching techniques. These reflections translate into job satisfaction, learning new skills and innovations among teachers and support staff within the learning environment.
