Practice-based professional learning

Practice-based professional learning is when someone learns how to do their job better by practicing what they do. Imagine you are learning how to ride a bike. You start by getting on the bike and trying to pedal. At first, it might be hard and you might fall off a few times. But each time you get back on the bike, you learn from your mistakes and get better at riding.

This is exactly what practice-based professional learning is like. Instead of riding a bike, it's about getting better at your job. For example, if you are a teacher, you might try out new teaching strategies. You might try to teach a lesson in a new way or use a different type of technology to help your students learn. By practicing these new strategies, you can see what works well and what doesn't.

Just like riding a bike, you might make mistakes along the way. But by learning from those mistakes, you can improve and become a better teacher. Practice-based professional learning is all about trying new things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes so that you can do your job even better.
