A sustained change in our T&L culture will not take
place through policies and ‘initiatives’; it will take
place through people - through colleagues,
collaborating as teachers and learners…
Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action brings positive change.

A Culture Shift: Research & Development at St Peter’s
Deep change “goes beyond surface structures or procedures
[such as the introduction of a lesson plan] to alter teachers’
beliefs, norms of social interaction and pedagogical
principles.”
Teachers with a deep understanding of the principles of a
reform are better able to respond consistently to new
demands and changing contexts.

dominant, CPD taking place at
a distance and not always
