TL;DR: The capacity is a complex blend of motivation, skill, positive learning, organizational conditions and culture, and infrastructure of support as mentioned in this paper, which gives individuals, groups, whole school communities and school systems the power to get involved in and sustain learning over time.
Abstract: International evidence suggests that educational reform’s progress
depends on teachers’ individual and collective capacity and its link with schoolwide
capacity for promoting pupils’ learning. Building capacity is therefore
critical. Capacity is a complex blend of motivation, skill, positive learning,
organisational conditions and culture, and infrastructure of support. Put together,
it gives individuals, groups, whole school communities and school systems the
power to get involved in and sustain learning over time. Developing professional
learning communities appears to hold considerable promise for capacity building
for sustainable improvement. As such, it has become a ‘hot topic’ in many
countries.
