The purpose of this site is to create a learning community of teachers. Professional learning communities are considered in this course as having the following characteristics: (1) Shared values and vision; (2) collective responsibility for pupils learning; (3) reflective professional inquiry; (4) collaboration; (5) the promotion of group, as well as individual learning ([|Creating and sustaining Effective Professional Learning Communities, 2005]). The intent of this wikispace is to provide a platform for teachers of similar and different disciplines to collaborate, discuss, reflect, and demonstrate their capacity in teaching. While the teachers in this course are technically considered "pre-service" they are TEACHERS. There are many reasons and paths that they have taken to get to this point in their life. Most importantly, they have arrived. We should take them seriously. This wikispace will demonstrate their potential to lead and capacity to engage students in effective instruction. This is their story.
