Group, as well as individual, learning is promoted. All teachers are
learners with their colleagues (Louis et al., 1995). In Rosenholtz’s
(1989) ‘learning enriched schools’, ‘‘professional self renewal’’ is
‘‘a communal rather than solitary happening’’. Collective learning
is also evident, through collective knowledge creation (Louis,
1994), whereby the school learning community interacts, engages
in serious dialogue and deliberates about information and data,
interpreting it communally and distributing it among them.
