In order for teachers to benefit from and take part in “learning study” I believe that an atmosphere similar to the one at Tanzania should be cultivated. Most times the presenter makes it difficult for you as a teacher to express your opinion as they take the comments (especially when negative) very personal. Teachers need to feel free to share their true feelings even if it is a negative comment. It would help you as a person to grow. Teachers also need to come to professional development with an open and willing attitude. As my administrator always says even though you may know the topic, there would be something which could enhance what you have learnt.

Learning study could be used as a mechanism for more collaboration among staff and would allow educators to concentrate on the learning styles and experiences of our students thus allowing all to be able to participate in the classroom.
