Abstract | Although there has been research on "professional learning communities" (PLCs) in schools, little attention has been paid to them in contexts of higher education. This article chronicles the development of a PLC, involving the 18 instructors who teach educational psychology each year to 1,400 preservice teacher candidates. Through questionnaires and interviews it illustrates how we established a coherent, shared conception of what teacher candidates need to learn and of how theory connects to practice. Finally, the authors describe a mature PLC in which there has been a substantive culture change and where group members have also established informal networks that have facilitated smaller joint-work projects.
