Global Perspectives on Developing PLCs
Global Perspectives on Developing Professional Learning Communities
by Nicholas Sun-Keung Pang, Ting Wang
This book discusses distinctive features of the professional learning community concept, practices and processes across six different education systems in the Asia-Pacific region, namely Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, and the United States. It provides a platform for an exchange of different perspectives and offers alternative possibilities of theorizing professional learning communities across different socio-cultural contexts. Contributors provide valuable insights for policy makers, education researchers and educators in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere to deal with critical questions about the improvement of teaching and learning and school improvement in a globalizing world.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Education.
