Why is it important?

This paper presents an internationally relevant model to help sort through different types of teacher professional learning to improve decision making when selecting from different programs. It may help teachers and school leaders to ensure professional learning is focused on student outcomes. It may help regulators and professional learning providers to communicate more explicitly the purpose of different learning programs.

Perspectives

It was a pleasure to work with Professor Margaret Lloyd in the construction of this model via a study of Australian education systems.
