Abstract

School leaders and teachers are constantly looking for ways to improve professional practice. For decades, these efforts mostly involved teachers attending external workshops on the latest trendy topics, with usually limited impact on student achievement. But in many systems, including Australia’s, educators are moving to bring professional learning in-house and ensuring that new practices are based on the evidence of their own students’ learning.
