Effective professional learning takes place when teachers and others engage in collaborative enquiry.
Professional learning is most effective when participants actively engage in building their expertise, as they work through the practical implications of learning for themselves in their own contexts and as they access and use research and reading as part of reflective practice. Working with colleagues through dialogue and reflection to analyse and develop professional practice is an essential part of developing and deepening understanding.
