This is the first in our ‘Unpacking theory and research’ series where I invite academics, researchers and experts to tell us what the theory, research or contemporary understandings mean for our day to day practice and our work as teachers, educators and leaders. This episode is about practice architectures and what this means for how we develop as professionals and the sorts of conditions that enabe high-quality practice.

I am delighted to be joined by Dr Leanne Gibbs, Senior Lecturer, School of Education, Charles Sturt University and Dr Mandy Cooke School of Education, Faculty of Arts and Education, Deakin University both renowned academics on this topic.
