How do school leaders support communities during change? In our action research, we explored how shared professional learning experiences affect teacher culture in the midst of a school community moving towards project-based learning (PBL). We reviewed effective practices in adult learning and collegiality in schools. Through a series of interviews, surveys, focus groups, and exit slips, we collected data to learn about teachers’ experiences participating in a project design course embedded in an elementary charter school in San Diego.
