In this episode of the Evidence Based Education podcast we are joined by Dr Liza-Maria Mueller from the Chartered College of Teaching for a wide-ranging conversation about professional learning in education.

Together, we explore how schools and systems are rethinking the design of professional learning — moving beyond compliance-driven models towards approaches that prioritise agency, autonomy and meaningful professional growth.

The purpose of professional learning beyond compliance

Balancing structure and flexibility in professional learning design

Teacher agency, autonomy and professional judgement

Leadership decisions about when to direct and when to step back

Different models of professional learning and their impact on practice

The episode sets the scene for a thoughtful examination of how professional learning can be both rigorous and empowering, and how leaders can create the conditions for teachers to engage in learning that genuinely improves practice.

It’s a reflective conversation for anyone interested in how professional learning is evolving, and what that means for teachers, leaders and the wider education system.
