Professional growth which assists in the achievement of real and effective growth and improvement in classroom practice is one of the greatest challenges which faces schools and organisations. Through working with thousands of teachers both in Australia and other countries it has become increasingly apparent sustained change in learning and teaching practices is achieved through a combination of four factors:
