Literature review - Professional Conversations and Improvement-Focused Feedback

AITSL commissioned Professor Helen Timperley, University of Auckland, to undertake the Professional Conversations and Improvement-Focused Feedback literature review to draw together national and international research in relation to conversations that support professional growth. The purpose of the review was to examine the characteristics and impact of these conversations, synthesise the common themes and identify the enablers and barriers to effective professional conversations. The review looked at professional conversations that achieved real changes in teaching practice, improved student outcomes, created better solutions to problems or developed new practice.
