Teachers’ Action Cooperative
(because traditional CPD does not result in change- remembering open plan classrooms)
Only teachers can change teaching
Changing teaching is itself a learning process (always striving for outstanding learning)
Learning requires: a challenge, opportunity to practice, feedback on success, support to continue and/to improve.
