Many schools and colleges are learning communities, in which teachers and support staff learn from each other (and from their students), within a culture where research, coaching and mentoring are commonplace. The Hub aims to provide teachers and support staff with access to professional development that involves experience of excellent practice within and beyond their immediate school, through observation, mentoring, coaching, practice, collaboration, research, reflection and sharing with colleagues.
