Rem Jackson CEO of Top Practices Education

摘要

What you believe about professional learning communities (PLCs) may be wrong. That's what Rem Jackson, CEO of Top Practices Education, has discovered through working with a group of educators from around the world who want to learn how to create sustainable change in schools. Jackson understands the challenges of change. In 1994, he led the team that founded Classroom Connect, now a division of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, which helps K-12 teachers integrate technology into their instructional practices. In 2007, he founded Top Practices, a consultancy that specializes in change management in the education environment. He shares his observations on what he sees as misplaced areas of focus among too many PLCs and suggests how to get resistant teachers on board with new programs.
