A learning organisation has a shared vision that gives it a sense of direction and has an inspiring and motivating vision that is committed to enhancing the lives of children. It has a supportive culture, and invests time and other resources in quality professional learning opportunities for all staff - teachers, school leaders, and support staff. In a learning organisation the staff's professional learning is based on continuous assessment and feedback that forms part of their daily practice. They have a positive attitude towards collaboration, and learn about learning together, sharing their understanding about teaching and learning. They meet regularly to reflect on how to address challenges and solve problems as they learn how to enhance children's learning and staff practice. Staff are also encouraged to take part in decision making and to engage in continuous self improvement that in turn leads to  improvement in children's learning. It is a place where leadership is essential for bringing together all the parts of the learning organisation and a place where parents and guardians are key partners. All in all, the learning organisation is a place where the beliefs, values and norms of all staff supports learning; where a "learning atmosphere", "learning culture", or "learning climate" is nurtured, and where learning to learn is necessary for everyone involved.
