Description
Transformational Professional Learning: A Bridge Between Research and Practice This book explores professional learning as a tool to shape teaching practice and improve student learning. Written from the unique perspective of an author who is both a practising teacher, school leader, and researcher, it articulates the why and what of professional learning. The book weaves together scholarly literature with the lived experience of the author and the voices of those working in schools, covering topics such as conferences, coaching, collaboration, teacher standards, and leadership of professional learning. It questions how professional learning is often used in educational settings and shows where to invest time and resources to support individuals, teams, and cultures in schools. This book will be of interest to teachers, school leaders, staff responsible for professional learning, professional learning consultants, and education researchers who want to understand the best ways to develop their practice.
