Constant, high-quality collaborative inquiry sustains professional learning communities(PLCs). Become disciplined and deliberative with data as you design and implement program improvements to enhance student learning with the five habits of inquiry in this book.

Evidence suggests that when constant, high-quality collaborative inquiry becomes the norm in a PLC, students prosper, the school culture becomes enriched, and teachers enjoy greater professional satisfaction. In the tight, functional culture of a PLC, team members are bound by a commitment to shared norms, values, and behaviors that become habit and nurture the functional culture.

This book delves into the five habits of inquiry that contribute to professional learning. Detailed steps show you how to develop each habit in your own school system.
