In Lecture 4 students discuss Huffman and Jacobson's research on perceptions of professional learning communities. In the paper, authors present six main core processes of building the professional learning communities. As seen, there is big difference between directive leadership and collaborative leadership in relation to the establishment of learning community. Based on the article, students had some critical comments on the research methods Huffman and Jacobson applied. Listen to the discussion and reflect on your own school context.
