ABSTRACT

In Chapter 1, we introduced the concept of organisational learning, which constitutes the third level of learning within a school in combination with student learning and teacher learning. Each level is interconnected through the flow of opportunities across people, classrooms and school structures (MacBeath, 2006, p. 20). Student learning is dependent on teacher learning while teacher learning is enhanced by its receptiveness to students’ learning needs. Organisational learning is, in turn, dependent on, and feeds into, teacher learning.
