Teacher learning community

Sample. Monthly. The agenda stays fixed: one student-work sample, one technique, one commitment.

The EEF trial of embedding formative assessment used teacher learning communities. It reported about two extra months of progress. The effect was modest, the security of the finding was high, and schools carried it out in different ways. That is the trial's report, not a result for this school.

The EEF lesson study trial found no attainment effect. This series stays on the three agenda items so it does not spread into a general discussion.

Vescio, Ross and Adams (2008) reviewed professional learning community research. The link is below. It is not a result for this school.
