In this sequel to Whatever It Takes: How Professional Learning Communities Respond When Kids Don't Learn, author DuFour, an award-winning high school principal and superintendent, describes the role of professional learning communities (PLCs) and school districts in creating successful intervention and enrichment programs at elementary through secondary public schools around the country. The first three chapters establish a historical context, and outline the prerequisite framework that must be in place for enrichment and intervention programs to work. The book then returns to two of the four schools featured in Whatever It Takes, as well as many other schools with all types of demographics, to examine the sustainability of programs since 2004. Examples provided prove that the PLC process is transferable. DuFour is active as a consultant. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
