Teachers teaching teachers: A professional learning community for educators ProEd methodology promotes the concept of the Professional Learning Community (PLC), about which much has been written in recent educational leadership literature. A PLC is a place where professionals come together to share concerns, solve problems and celebrate successes. Within a PLC, inquiry and reflection are guided by collaboration and trust-building for the purpose of ensuring stakeholder empowerment and growth, prompting questions such as “Where are we now?” and “Where are we going?” The lack of PLCs in Panama´s public education system contributes to school cultures that are more coercive than collegial, that defeat collaboration and empowerment, and that are often unproductive.
