This report analyzes the way four high-performing systems (British Columbia (Canada), Hong Kong, Shanghai (China) and Singapore) provide professional learning to their teachers. While these systems are quite different, the key to all of them is that collaborative professional learning (teachers working with other teachers to improve curriculum, instruction, school climate, etc.) is built into the daily lives of teachers and school leaders. This is reinforced by policies and school organizations that: (1) free up time in the daily lives of teachers for collaborative professional learning; (2) create leadership roles for expert teachers who both develop other teachers and lead school improvement teams; (3) recognize and reward the development of teacher expertise; and (4) enable teachers and school leaders to share responsibility for their own professional learning and that of their peers.
