Abstract
Being able to collaborate to make the best use of evidence to enhance teacher practice is fundamental to successful teaching today. In this chapter, I first describe three evidence sources: student and other data; teacher research or enquiry projects; and external research findings. Next, I consider different perspectives on the social learning that takes place when teachers engage with evidence. I argue that professional learning communities provide the ideal home for evidence-informed practice, and that they are what bring evidence to life. I offer four reasons for this. The chapter concludes with a set of suggestions for leadership of evidence-rich professional learning communities.
