Professional Learning
• Professional development should be intensive, ongoing and connected to practice
• Professional development should focus on student learning and address the teaching of specific curriculum content

School Based Change
• The process and outcome must be personally and politically empowering
• Significant change will only be sustained when the process fosters commitment

School Based Change
• Opportunities for both individual and collaborative learning best support change
• Ideas that are demonstrably integrated (rather than unconnected) with current arrangements have a greater chance to be viewed as potential improvements and not impositions

School Based Change
• All change ideas, policies, etc, need to be further developed by participants to complement their educational settings; such developments are most empowering when supported by the rigour of research and documentation.

School Based Change
• Educational change is often a non-linear and unpredictable process.
• Change involves grit and sweat.
• Change takes time and so must be given time and expect time.
