According to All Things PLC,  a PLC is an "ongoing process in which educators work collaboratively in recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action research to achieve better results for the students they serve."  They also suggest the key to improved student learning is to have educators who are involved with on the job continuing education opportunities.
