Part of the problem is our system of continuous performance development (CPD).  This system is tied to targets and professional standards that actually inhibit  conscientious teachers taking risks and experimenting with new teaching  strategies. We set targets, either consciously or subconsciously, so that we may  meet them, regardless whether they genuinely improve our practice or not. Gone  is the regular critical feedback of our first couple of years. We move into  autopilot, often even entering a state of professional inertia.
