This work examines tenants of high reliability organizing (HRO) to inform school leadership focused on fostering professional learning community (PLC). It has been argued that when school leaders create PLC cultures that encourage rich thinking and intentional practice, organizational outcomes are enhanced. Yet, the presence of organizational structures does not ensure attainment of goals. Instead, we assert that the adoption of HRO processes within PLCs unlocks the possibilities of collective attention, innovative problem solving, and responsive teamwork that are necessary for school improvement. We recommend institutionalization of HRO processes into PLC practice through prioritizing acknowledgment of deeply developed explanations of activities within the school setting, opportunities for reflective mindfulness, and real time orientation to communal learning.
