Significant episodes

A Significant Episode is an event, or a small series of linked events, that has impacted on educators professionally and has helped develop or change the way they teach and think about teaching.

It may have occured within their classroom, within their professional learning community, or peer-to-peer. They are a rich form of data. Many of the Make It Count Cluster Findings have derived from these Significant Episodes.
