Building, Deepening, and Sustaining a Culture of Collaboration for Singletons
LC at Work® and Your Small School: Building, Deepening, and Sustaining a Culture of Collaboration for Singletons is a guide for leaders seeking to transform their small schools into successful PLCs. Grounded in both research and her own experience as principal of a small, rural school in Wyoming, this book by Breez Longwell Daniels focuses on the unique role culture plays in many small schools—a role that should be central to PLC implementation. Daniels takes the reader through the big ideas and four critical questions of a PLC, providing guidance on how to best implement the big ideas and answer the questions in a small school with singletons and shared teachers. Leaders will also find guidance on effective scheduling, time management, use of data, and strategies to overcome obstacles unique to small schools.
