Element 2.1 Action learning

• The school is a learning organisation and uses a cycle of planning, acting, observing, reflecting and revising to develop good practice.

Learning is a cyclic process and one that is at the core of educators’ efforts to develop good practice. Monitoring and evaluation are essential opportunities to reflect on and record learning. The action learning approach and action research offer educators a structured approach to developing good practice through a cycle of planning, acting, observing, reflecting and revising.
