changing culture

Kim's presentation on school culture was very interesting. Several of the school districts I work with announce they are professional learning communities but as an observer I don't see that. I think it is the buzz word so some administrations think if they say it--they are instantly PLC's. I don't think they know that as the administrator they must buy into the PLC concept and work with their staff to create the change of culture. It isn't just saying it but it is actually changing the thought process of everyone involved.
