The Utility of Paradigm Shifting for Professional Learning Communities
Professional Learning Communities should recognize the need to adopt new paradigms or mental models. This is a sure sign that the PLC is actually learning. The first key for Professional Learning Communities is the ability to recognize when their current mental models or paradigms will serve them effectively, and when their current mental models or paradigms will let them down. The second key for Professional Learning Communities is recognize past mental models or paradigms may have un-expected value. The ability to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of any paradigm, and move back and forth between new and old has powerful benefits.

The Coming Shift for Professional Learning Communities and Knowledge Workers
Technology is going to change how Professional Learning Communities collaborate and interact with each other. Why? The next generation of educators is not going to recognize a functional difference between person-to-person PLCs and virtual ones. The coming generation consider those who participate through the “virtual” technologies as present, as being there. They will live in two worlds simultaneously. And they will be good at it, because for them, it isn’t really two worlds at all. There is just real touch and virtual touch. But it’s all touch. Professional Learning Communities will move back-and-forth from the conference table to the digital network.
