PROGRAM DETAILS
Effective Professional Learning Models
There is no doubt that quality professional learning enhances student learning outcomes. But how does such professional learning align with the similar need for high quality, innovative curriculum development associated as it must be with rigorous standards for student learning?
What is there to learn from how other systems have designed and implemented standards and curriculum and what are the implications for initial teacher education, ongoing teacher professional learning and student assessments?
In a recent report for Learning First, Dr Ben Jensen defined effective teacher professional learning and set out an approach to professional learning based on an improvement cycle and incorporating models used in high-performing systems such as British Columbia, Singapore, Shanghai and which have been adopted in some schools and districts of Australia and the United States.
