Professional Learning Community for Educational Institutions

Abstract

This article aims to present the concept of a professional learning community (PLC) for educational institutions, comprising the community itself, its components, and how it drives professional learning within schools. Through the author's study, a professional learning community for schools is defined as an organizational adjustment of learning communities for several reasons. It aims to transform and enhance its quality by focusing on successful learning management and student outcomes. Emphasizing the collaborative happiness of community members is crucial in efficiently creating a professional learning community in secondary schools and continuously developing education as outlined in the National Economic and Social Development Plan No. 13 (2019-2024). This plan emphasizes human resource development, accelerating and expanding development efforts to achieve highly capable leadership, capable of instigating change and enhancing the country's capabilities. The Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a model endorsed, urging educational institutions to implement it to develop teachers' learning management and school management through professional learning communities. It emphasizes and promotes comprehensive learning processes under the principle of friendly relations, unity, and collective empowerment for shared learning experiences. This vision, values, goals, and collaborative mission involve teachers as learning leaders and administrators as supporters in educational development.
