TLDR
Learning by Doing as mentioned in this paper is a guide for developing professional learning communities in schools, focusing on the theory and practicalities of developing professional education communities (PLCs) in schools.
Abstract
All four authors of Learning by Doing have had extensive experience with both the theory and practicalities of developing professional learning communities (PLCs) in schools. They have written about the topic in books and articles, developed PLCs in their own schools and districts, helped other educators establish PLCs, and—finally and significantly—continue to study PLCs and their impact on student learning. Learning by Doing translates what they have learned through these experiences into a useful guide based on a solid base of research and practice.
