Sustainable school improvement happens when change is done with teachers, not to them, and when professional learning builds genuine understanding rather than just compliance with programs.

• The key difference between compliance and commitment in school change
• Why program implementation alone isn't enough to transform practice
• Starting with strengths rather than deficits when approaching improvement
• Understanding the "why" behind instructional decisions, not just the "what"
• Creating genuine space for reflection and ownership in professional learning
• How collaborative approaches lead to more sustainable changes
• Balancing clear expectations with teacher professionalism
• The importance of understanding context before implementing solutions
• Why the "messier" path of collaborative change leads to better outcomes
• Helping all staff become data-informed practitioners

Join us next episode as we dive into the research on effective professional learning and explore what makes it truly transformative.
