Professional Learning Communities: Bridging the Technology Integration Gap through Effective Professional Development
Paulus, Michelle Toor; Villegas, Sonimar Garcia; Howze-Owens, Jennifer
Peabody Journal of Education, v95 n2 p193-202 2020
While technology is prevalent in American classrooms, meaningful technology integration remains an issue, indicating a lack of effective professional development. Unlike the typical workshop model, professional learning communities (PLCs) utilize teacher-centered approaches to professional development. Kolb's experiential learning theory, Bandura's self-efficacy theory, and the expectancy-value model work together to provide the theoretical foundation supporting professional development through PLCs. This article proposes a plan for transformative technology integration using a PLC model for professional development.
