Spanish term or phrase: Recuperación de la práctica docente
I'm translating a text from Spanish to English about education in universities. In Mexico we use the phrase "recuperación de la práctica docente" meaning the activities carried out by the educator by which he/she records, evaluates and improves his educational methodologies and practice. His/her findings are made available to other educators so that the institution may also benefit from the individual's experience. What would the phrase/word be in English?
Here is more context:

Este proyecto pretende tener una construcción del conocimiento más conectada con la realidad, la recuperación y reflexión de las prácticas docentes que alimenten a su vez el diseño de nuevas estrategias que permitan la posibilidad de otras modalidades educativas, siempre desde el marco institucional.
Do you think "the revision of educational practices" might do?
Thanks to all. TGIF!

review of teaching practices and outcomes
Explanation:
I would assume that part of the review in question addresses the results obtained from the students, and hence inclusion of the term outcomes.

Suerte.

teacher self-assessment and reflection/teacher self-assessment and professional development planning


Explanation:
Two other possibilities. I like the idea of including mentions of reflection and/or development planning, which clearly seem to be part of the purpose of the exercise.

5470 hits on google for "teacher self-assessment and reflection" and 24,300 hits for "self-assessment and professional development planning".

saving data on teachers experiences


Explanation:
saving data on teachers learning's experiences/gained knowledge, during the practice of teaching, so that it can be used to recreate other/new subjects.
Recuperación in the sense that the details are to be kept and can be accessed/recuperated for when there is a need or requirement to do so.
