Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) were designed to give educators time and structure to collaborate for student success. But too often, meetings become consumed by paperwork, compliance, and endless tasks that pull teachers away from what matters most—relationships, creativity, and impact.

 

AI-Powered PLC Protocols reframes collaboration as a democratic habit and offers the first playbook that merges trusted PLC practices with the efficiency of AI. With more than a dozen ready-to-use routines, including Unpacking for Clarity, Calibration, Analysis of Evidence, and Check In, the book helps teams save time, strengthen equity, and protect teacher judgment. AI carries the clipboard, freeing educators to focus on feedback, student voice, and the common good.

 

Grounded in research and classroom practice, this book delivers:

​

• Protocols, not programs: adaptable routines that fit any grade level or team.

• Human-first AI: tools that accelerate busywork without replacing teacher expertise.

• Privacy by design: code names, consent templates, and identity-safe pipelines built into every routine.

• Democracy in action: protocols anchored in representation, deliberation, common good, shared vision, and checks & balances.

 

This isn’t another book about AI writing your lessons. It’s a way to restore time, dignity, and humanity to the heart of teaching. Whether you’re a teacher, coach, or school leader, AI-Powered PLC Protocols is here to help you turn evidence into action.
