上海教育改革的經驗之一就是提升教師的品質，促進教師的專業發展，其基本作法是基於反思的個人學習、基於合作的社群研修和基於網路的制度建設。其中，教師個體的自我反思和行動研究是基礎，教師專業社群體的互助合作是關鍵，而基於網路的專業支援是重要保障，這三者構成了教師專業發展三種不可或缺的力量。在這三種因素的相互作用之下，教師專業發展實現了三個轉化：一、理論知識實踐化；二、隱性知識顯性化；三、個體知識共用化。未來上海教師面臨的挑戰是：更多的「證據支持」，而不是「經驗積累」；更多的「專業自主」，而不是「外部干預」；更多的「個性發展」，而不是「共性統一」。

The one of Shanghai secret in educational reform is to promote teacher professional development and improve teacher education quality. There are three major elements of teacher professional development including reflection-based individual learning, collaborative professional learning community, and network-based institution building. Three transformations of teacher professional development are increasingly becoming apparent: Take theoretical knowledge into practice, make implicit knowledge explicit, and make individual knowledge public and sharable. There are such challenges as more evidencesupport rather than experience accumulation, more professional autonomy rather than external intervention, more personal development rather than common unity.
