| Summary: | This paper is a case study of a middle school in the Midwest that was involved with a national project over a 3-year period in trying to create a professional learning community. The case study includes background, areas of focused reflection, a school profile, case questions to stimulate dialogue and problem-solving, and author's reflections. The study focused on the issues of trust and the effects of mistrust on risk, relationships, organizational health, and openness to change. The intent is to stimulate inquiry among faculty and students in educational leadership programs as well as district staff. It is one of five cases that were part of a national project called Creating Continuous Communities of Inquiry and Improvement coordinated by the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory. (WFA) |
