There is a strong case for trust leaders to prioritise high quality teacher learning as a mechanism for school improvement. To do so, leaders require an understanding of the barriers to teacher learning and how to overcome them. This paper by Steplab's founder Josh Goodrich and strategic director Claire Hill examines how this can be achieved.
The paper examines:
- Barriers to teacher learning
- How professional development can better support teacher learning
- Why coaching may be the best solution to overcoming the barriers to teacher learning
- How trusts can implement effective coaching at scale.
