The difference between really good teaching and less effective teaching makes more difference to learning than any other factor within school. High-quality teaching narrows the advantage gap. Crucially, it is also something that can be changed: all teachers can learn to be better.&quot; (Wiliam, 2016, Leadership for Teacher Learning.

The OECD has emphasized the important role of teachers as the most significant within-school influence on school improvement. Recently there has been a renewed vision of teachers as active developers of curriculum. However, teachers work within systems (school | regional | national) that sometimes deny teachers the ability to act agentically (e.g. the way they have actively deprofessionalised teachers through highly prescriptive curricula, assessment and inspection regimes).</p></div></div><div class="panel-footer" style="background-color: rgb(245, 250, 249);"><div><p><strong>References</strong></p><p paraeid="{697f5184-d0d6-487a-8555-3ce628f06e4c}{213}" paraid="1886076628">A great introduction to&nbsp;agency&nbsp;can be found in <a href="http://core-ed.org/research-and-innovation/ten-trends/2017/learner-agency/">THIS</a>&nbsp;article.&nbsp;HOWEVER, an even better article is Priestley, M., Biesta, G., &amp; Robinson, S, Teacher agency: what is it and why does it matter?&nbsp;That can be found <a href="https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/bitstream/1893/21559/1/Teacher%20agency%20matters_Flip%20the%20system_final.pdf ">HERE</a>.
