Philosophy of Lifelong Learning
Vision:
To create and support a vibrant professional learning community that is engaged in purposeful inquiry to ensure student learning and nurture professional fulfillment.
CA's Professional Learning is grounded in Seven Principles of Effective Professional Learning.
What makes Effective Professional Learning?
Professional learning is focused on student outcomes (not just individual teacher needs)
Professional learning is focused on and embedded in teacher practice (not disconnected from the school)
Professional learning is informed by the best available research on effective learning and teaching (not just limited to what they currently know)
Professional learning is collaborative, involving reflection and feedback (not just individual inquiry)
Professional learning is evidence based and data driven (not anecdotal) to guide improvement and to measure impact
Professional learning is ongoing, supported and fully integrated into the culture and operations of the system – schools, networks, regions and the centre (not episodic and fragmented)
Professional learning is an individual and collective responsibility at all levels of the system (not just the school level) and it is not optional.
