This article discusses the difficulties that schools may face while
trying to maintain a PLC community. It talks about the 5 essential
parts of the PLC structure which are sharing practices, collective
learning, shared leadership, and supportive conditions. The article
indicates that there are several barriers that can halt the process for
PLC. Adjusted instruction to focus on test scores, lack of
organizational resources, and over-focus on procedural-mandates are
examples of the barriers PLCs face. The article also focused on how
the PLC communities need to focus on equity challenges and inclusive
practices. There needs to be more literature that focuses on meeting
equity needs. The findings of the article show how there is evidence

essential parts of the structure, there are no concrete steps given on
how to make sure leaders are executing equity in the PLC settings.

also discussed the need to make sure that PLCs focus on inclusion for
all involved. It also provides interviews from teachers working in a
PLC community.
