PLOT is profound. It offers a clear framework and a wealth of powerful practical processes for leaders of schools, teams and classrooms that enable them to build effective learning communities and facilitate sustained school improvement.

What I enjoy about PLOT as a principal is that I can find in-depth material that gives me the practical 'how-tos' to work on identified issues without having to reinvent that for myself. It's like working with Joan and David and getting the full benefit of their knowledge and experience without them having to be here in person.

The knowledge-base of PLOT and the access it provides to current learning theory, research, and cutting-edge practice is quite breath-taking. You can target the areas that are relevant to your school, look at how practising teachers are applying good theory to their work in the classroom, and print off what you need for individual, team or whole-school use. It's absolutely fantastic.

Research clearly indicates that a whole-school approach to professional development is needed, one that is coherent, on-going, site-based, targeted at improving school-wide practices, aligned with school learning goals, and tailored to the people and the place.
