This project examines how PhD supervision can foster profound educational development while addressing the inefficiencies of conventional change initiatives. Recognizing that sustainable improvement requires enduring commitment over high-profile, transient initiatives, we explore the long-term phases of educational change. By identifying key internal and external factors, we aim to build capacity across all levels of education through professional learning communities. These communities thrive on shared values, collective responsibility, and continuous reflective inquiry to promote both group and individual learning.
