An authorial assertion in the section on teacher images, presented without cited data or study design. The article states top-down prescriptions "have been shown not effective or long-lasting in improving teaching" and that teachers' internal drive produces the most successful change. No evidence or study is printed for the assertion.

When teachers are confronted with challenging situations in their practices, their motivation to change emanates. The internal drive from the teachers leads to the most successful change in educational practices."
