The Education Exchange is a place where people can come together and exchange effective school improvement strategies. It is a collection of highly successful educators that are invested in improving outcomes and opportunities for all students. It unites educators in sustainable professional friendships, ensuring all children can enjoy success irrespective of their starting points.

Developing professional learning communities appears to hold considerable promise for capacity building for sustainable improvement.
