Step 1: Review and Annotate Theory of Action Diagram
Effective professional development takes place within the school contexts and builds upon teachers' knowledge and experiences. For formative assessment implementation to be successful, it must be grounded in a system that supports adult learning (Birenbaum et al 2011, Earl and Katz 2006) and permits adults to inquire take risks and learn from experience. This diagram depicts the key elements necessary in a teacher professional learning system.

Step 2: Review and Annotate Learning Culture Diagram
Our Theory of Action outlines the importance of both teacher learning and leader learning to support student agency.
