âThe central theme of this book is that the PLC process is on the verge of a quantum leap in terms of its influence on the functioning of a school and, ultimately, its influence on student learning. This next step will take place by expanding the responsibilities of collaborative teams, enabling them to transform the scope and content of the curriculum, the nature and function of classroom assessments, the manner in which instruction is planned and executed, the system in which teachers develop, and the way schools are led.â
