There is no question that the work of learning teams is not always smooth and easy. Anytime you ask groups of teachers--or any human beings, for that matter--to work together, there are going to be periods of tension or outright conflict.
A challenge for administrators, then, is determining when to intervene. Is it ever appropriate for an administrator to step in and provide correction to teams that are struggling--or should conflict in a group be handled only by members of a learning team?
These questions are examined by Parry Graham, an assistant principal who has facilitated learning teams for the past three years, and Bill Ferriter, a teacher and member of a middle school learning team, in the first installment of Counterpoint, a bimonthly podcast focused on issues related to PLC implementation.
