I started the pandemic in China as I worked at an international school there. It is only by having established PLC's that the school where I worked was able to maintain and complete its practice. Staff and students were distributed around the globe, in multiple time zones, and we were all grappling. However, by having this group established, we were able to pull together and to address the needs of our students and families. I believe this is the possibility embedded in believing staff is a learning community, and not simply a group of poeple who share contract days. There is more power in the collective group than in any individual.
