Celebrating in a PLC at Work: A Leader’s Guide to Building Collective Efficacy and High-Performing Collaborative Teams

When leaders foster a culture of frequent, specific recognition in their school system, it allows collaborative teams to function at high levels. In this book, the authors demonstrate how celebrating the “right work” of professional learning communities stimulates the culture shift necessary for successful PLC implementation. Using intentional celebrations, K–12 leaders can improve collaborative team performance, resulting in higher student achievement.

This book will help K–12 leaders and administrators:

• Understand why celebration is critical to developing a high-functioning PLC
• Create opportunities to celebrate achievements of the right work in all areas of the PLC process
• Witness how local and system leaders have effectively implemented celebration practices in their PLCs
• Customise the book’s templates and tools based on what will work best for a school or system
• Utilise reflective questions and journal prompts to enhance the reading experience and application
