This professional practice note provides school leaders with an insight into purposeful collaboration structures within and across schools.
To drive excellence and continuous improvement in teaching and learning, school leaders and teachers can collaborate through:
- Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)
within the school
- Communities of Practice (CoPs)
across a number of schools
This Professional Practice Note, together with the
Framework for Improving Student Outcomes (FISO) Improvement Cycle, may be a useful reference point for future planning and improvement.
