Ashford EDU 687 Week 1 Assignment Transforming Learning Into a Learning System
Transforming Learning Into a Learning System. Due by Day 7. Completion of this assignment allows you to
demonstrate mastery of the learning outcomes: Interrelate the potential impact shared beliefs, values, and
vision has on enhanced teaching quality and student achievement and explain the benefits PLCs provide to
principals, teachers, and students through shared responsibility and distributed leadership. Additionally, this
assignment leads you toward mastery of Program Learning Outcome 6: Professional Growth, Leadership, &
Ethical Practice in the 21st Century and Course Learning Outcome 4: Apply the concepts of collaborative
professional development, shared responsibility, and distributed leadership.
According to Ash & D’Auria (2013), “The more that teachers, principals, and central office staff act as individual
rather than as members of a collective whole, the less likely that all students will be educated well” (p.5). A
critical component of serving all students well involves the creation of a learning system in which learning
cycles are replicated in every aspect of the institution/organization. The phases of the learning cycle may be
observed on multiple levels: student, teacher, school, central office, school board, and professional
development.
In the article by Hord, Roussin, and Sommers (2010), “Professional Learning Communities; What are they and
why are they important,” the background and attributes of professional learning communities (PLC), shared
leadership, intentional collective learning, shared values and visions, supportive conditions and shared
personal practices are all attributed to a school’s goal to enhance their effectiveness as professionals so that
students benefit.
