This book offers an innovative approach to understanding and
supporting teacher inquiry groups, Critical Friends Groups,
“PLCs,” and other vehicles for the school-wide professional
learning community. It takes the reader outside traditional sites of
professional development for teachers and into the black box theatres
and rehearsal studios of contemporary theatre companies. It
investigates the methods and specific tools these theatre artists use
to collectively create new works for performance. Drawing on these
methods and tools, it provides a model for understanding and improving
the practices of teacher learning groups, one that highlights the
means, materials, and modes of engagement of a group’s activity.
Applying the model to elementary and high school teacher learning
groups, it demonstrates how teachers, coaches, and administrators can
use it to foster meaningful professional learning and instructional
improvement. The book provides not only new ways of thinking about
teacher learning in schools, but also frameworks and specific tools to
bring teacher learning as collective creation to life.
