Literature Review
.
The aim of the following synopsis is to systematize specific empirical experiences and conceptual ideas that are being discussed in the international discourse, mainly in European countries. We offer these insights to show how the concept of PLCs is laid out and particularly moderation, leadership or guidance of PLCs should be designed so that an exchange among PLC-members takes plane that promotes learning and development and a reflective approach to the challenges of school practice which leads to innovation in school.
On the basis of reviews of selected papers from several discourses an international overview of conceptual ideas on the field of “leading and facilitating PLCs for inquiry & reflection” is put together. You find Edition 1 of the six review papers from:
