Abstract

Thriving in today's global society means meeting the demands for success by simple provisional steps or internal and organizational paradigm shifts. As organizations command numerous departments, oversee a diverse workforce, and have various agendas and goals, creating and maintaining a culture of collaboration and inclusion is vital but challenging. Professional learning communities (PLCs) are a way for colleagues from all areas of an organization to connect. PLCs have been a proven strategy for fostering collaboration, expanding scholarship, and enhancing professional efficacy. The intention of a PLC is to confront a challenge, meet a goal, or implement a change for the good of the organization while also building a sense of community through collaboration. This chapter will emphasize how PLCs contribute to experiential learning, inclusive learning settings, and address common communication challenges.
