Читать книгу Inside PLCs at Work® - Casey Reason - Страница 4

We dedicate this book to Rick and Becky DuFour.

It’s impossible for many of us to know the impact we have on others’ lives. However, Rick and Becky DuFour’s impact on schools, educators, and students is easy to see. Their written words about and tireless dedication to professional learning communities (PLCs) brought the PLC process to life. Their lifetime of work has inspired generations of excellence in schools across North America and the world, including in my district, Sheridan County School District 2 in Sheridan, Wyoming. For that and for so much more, we thank you, Rick and Becky.

As a principal and assistant superintendent, I was greatly influenced by the work of Rick and Becky DuFour. My most ambitious dreams were realized when I had the honor of writing a book, Professional Learning Communities at Work® and Virtual Collaboration: On the Tipping Point of Transformation, with Rick. His leadership, friendship, and thoughtful guidance made me a much better writer and, I hope, a better man. Becky’s wisdom, kindness, and grace always inspired me. And finally, their bond and what they did with it, for each other and the world, also deeply inspired me. Love of mission and one another is a most powerful force. Thank you both for everything you did for me and for making this book possible. With love and friendship.
