  2. Their position: • Good practice is central • Practice can always be improved • The most likely way for teachers to improve practice is to understand their experience of it • To talk about practice, they need to learn relevant concepts and terminology • As they talk about practice in new terms, teachers build their practical knowledge out of their experience
