Using Professional Learning to Drive Improvement
Professional learning has transformed in schools. It was once dominated by expensive and external courses, often with limited impact. Now the focus is on maximising internal skills and expertise, promoting collaboration and targeting precise areas for improvement.
As a result, professional learning is positioned at the centre of strategies to drive improvement and is integrated with systems to manage performance and make accurate judgements about school performance through self-evaluation.
