Whatever It Takes: How Professional Learning Communities Respond When Kids Don't Learn
Richard Dufour, Rebecca DuFour, Robert Eaker, and Gayle Karhanek
Whatever it Takes: How Professional Learning Communities Respond When Kids Don't Learn examines the question, "What happens when, despite our best efforts in the classroom, a student does not learn?" A Professional Learning Community will create a school-wide system of interventions that provides all students with additional time and support when they experience difficulty in their learning. The authors describe the systems of interventions, including Adlai E. Stevenson High School's "Pyramid of Interventions," created by a high school, a middle school, and two elementary schools. The authors also discuss the logistical barriers these schools faced and their strategies for overcoming them. A FREE Study Guide is now available at www.nesonline.com
