‘… we cannot conclude that the arrangements for
training new teachers are value for money. The
Department will also need to show that the
arrangements are more cost effective than alternative
expenditure, for instance on improving retention’

3.Learning must take place in the classroom, over time with others
4.Rather than being disruptive – to having the time to partake in professional
learning should be the thing that IS disruptive

professional learning
6. Co-evaluation of knowledge as well as co-creation
7. Accessing and sharing the tacit knowledge of teachers
