This book examines the question, “What happens when, despite our best efforts in the classroom, a student does not learn?” In traditional schools, the response to this question has been left to individual classroom teachers to figure out. A Professional Learning Community will not leave this critical question to each teacher to resolve. A PLC will, instead, create a school-wide system of interventions that provides all students with additional time and support when they experience difficulty in their learning. The authors describe in detail the systems of intervention, including Adlai E. Stevenson High School’s “Pyramid of Interventions,” implemented by four different schools: a high school, a middle school, and two elementary schools. In addition to these systems, the authors discuss the logistical barriers these schools faced and their strategies for overcoming those barriers.
