Through continuous work with educators, the authors have created a more powerful, practical tool for moving forward in the PLC process. Like the first edition, the second edition of Learning by Doing is an action guide for closing the knowing-doing gap and transforming schools into PLC's.

Richard Dufour

Richard DuFour, EdD, in a distinguished career spanning four decades, was a public-school educator, serving as a teacher, principal, and superintendent. A prolific author and consultant, he was recognized as one of the leading authorities on helping school practitioners implement the Professional Learning Communities at Work process in their schools and districts. Over the course of his career, he was the author of numerous books, including the best-selling Professional Learning Communities at Work, Learning by Doing, and In Praise of American Educators. During his 19-year tenure as a leader at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois, Stevenson was one of only three schools in the nation to win the United States Department of Education Blue Ribbon Award on four occasions and the first comprehensive high school designated a New American High School as a model of successful school reform.
