1) A standardized Teacher Learning Circle / Teacher Professional Development session fulfills the following procedure:
> It is a small gathering of teachers who come together to share their work, successes, and challenges in order to support and help one another improve their teaching practices.
> It takes place regularly, once or twice a month.
> All teachers in a school are actively engaged.
> Its goal is to establish a routine learning loop of 4 phases where teachers (1) reflect upon a teaching practice, (2) learn more about the practice, (3) plan on how to use it in their classes and finally, (4) take action by practicing the technique. This cyclical learning process forms the basis of school-based and peer-driven Teacher Professional Development sessions.
2) This indicator can be further supplemented by information from participatory assessment of teacher perception of and satisfaction with Teacher Learning Circles.
