Some comments from schools and facilitators who use PLOT:
Fabulous resource. We use PLOT extensively with all our staff and the more I delve into it the more impressed I am.
I have used the tools in PLOT to plan for and successfully implement a significant change agenda. It’s been instrumental in helping us critically examine our pedagogy and create a strong professional learning community.
PLOT is the best, and most comprehensive, learning package that I have accessed throughout my teaching career.
PLOT has provided an extremely powerful and common vehicle for conversation among our cluster principals. It’s having a substantial impact on the learning communities in our schools.
‘Our M. Ed. Course Evaluations revealed that students consistently rated PLOT as having the most impact on their learning during their courses – for some, it caused them to fundamentally re-think their perspective on teaching.
‘We have used PLOT in our District as a vehicle to move systemic strategic agendas forward. PLOT use has made a huge difference in a number of our schools, particularly where there was discontinuity and limited cohesion in whole-of-school approaches.’
