We have also translated into Chinese the PLC booklets used in the research (Stoll, L, Bolam, R, McMahon, A, Thomas, S, Wallace, M, Greenwood, A and Hawkey, K , 2006) and produced a ITDEQC Policy Brief and Teachers PLC Toolkit in Chinese.  These documents are freely available via the links below.  The new materials are aimed at teachers, school leaders and other leaders of professional learning.  We hope they will provide food for thought in promoting teacher learning and developing schools as professional learning communities in Chinese and similar country contexts in East Asia:
