The action phase is about real change, not just talk. It is a deep dive into the new learning.
Be intentional and persistent as you plan, do, check, reflect, and try again. Make sure there are plenty of opportunities for this. It may take a second, third or fourth try without fear of judgement or failure before you have enough evidence to evaluate the new approaches. Gather evidence of your actions, including records of practice, videos and more, to use for reflection and checking.
Checking in with your team-mates more regularly is important when you're trying a new approach / doing something different. Let each other know how it's going for you, and support each other if something unexpected crops up. While you're all actioning what you've agreed on in your own classrooms, you are still all doing this together, as a team.

Considerations
- Ensure everyone knows they are expected to DO something different.
- If you are adding a new expectation, set something aside to make room.
- Make risk-taking less risky. Celebrate failures and successes as part of new learning.
- Ensure lots of opportunities for reflection. Keep your network involved.
- Ask how will we know? Have ways to measure the results of the actions at the checking phase.
