The book discusses the idea of the learning community as a vehicle
for professional learning and school development. As the authors
show, the learning community develops in response to building
capacity in three domains: personal, interpersonal and
organizational. In the personal domain, educators deconstruct and
reconstruct their professional narratives to enhance student
learning and professional practice. In the interpersonal domain,
educators generate norms and values that foster experimentation and
critical analysis of educational practice and that promote
collective and individual learning. In the organizational domain,
visible and invisible structures are constructed that enable
community members to enact educational practices in support of
profound improvement in teaching and learning. This revised and
updated edition of Profound Improvement not only brings this
important work up-to-date but also shows how the authors thinking
has changed and developed since the book was originally written.
The book focuses on the life of educators as it relates to
professional learning and growth. It is concerned with human growth
and development, human cognition and affect and human interactions
and actions in the context of a school community. For the new
edition the authors also: elaborate more fully the notion of
learning communities based on living systems and ecological
perspectives develop their capacity building model They show that
building a learning community is a dynamic process that engages the
individual, the group and the organization in embedded
interdependencies and mutual influences. As the authors clearly
demonstrate: education is a living system as opposed to a managed
system.
