Teacher learning in collaborative curriculum design

The Interconnected Model of Professional Growth (Clarke & Hollingsworth, 2002) was used to identify processes of teacher learning during the collaborative design of curriculum materials in the context of curriculum innovation. Nine published studies from six different countries about teachers’ collaborative curriculum design were analyzed to identify the learning processes that collaborative curriculum design fosters. It was concluded that the Interconnected Model of Professional Growth, although initially developed to recognize learning processes in individual teachers, can also be used to identify learning processes that are fostered by collaborative curriculum design in teams of teachers.     

Challenging Appraisal Orthodoxies: Teacher Evaluation and Professional Development in the United Arab Emirates

This paper presents findings from a 4-year study of faculty appraisal at two higher education institutions (HEIs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It finds that neither teachers nor academic managers are opposed to evaluative appraisal, and, contrary to much of the literature, most are happy for evaluative and developmental elements to be combined. It then examines the apparent paradox of continuing professional development in a context where federally-funded HEIs have the money to attract more teachers than they need; the legal right to dismiss any of them for any reason; and a strong belief on the part of managers that these particular students need and deserve only the very best teachers. It concludes that these features of the UAE context present a considerable challenge to the popular notion that people are an institution’s most precious resource and need to be developed at every opportunity.

Teacher professional leadership in support of teacher professional development

Counteracting perceptions of teaching as a profession with a flat career trajectory may require professional leadership opportunities for experienced teachers that differ substantively from those typically available. This evaluation study investigated the results of a professional development initiative for subject specialist teachers seconded to a leadership role in their curriculum areas. Interview and survey data supported teacher growth in subject expertise and leadership capacity attributed to the opportunities provided by the new teacher-leadership role. The findings of this study indicate expanded leadership roles may further develop experienced professionals while simultaneously supporting teacher knowledge during a period of embedding educational reform.     

描述与倾听：促进教师自主专业发展的生活体验写作

在解释现象学视角下,真正的教师发展,不在于技术的熟练和理论知识的把握,而是要将教师的成长深植于教师的生活世界,由知识性的方法转向体知性的方法,通过自己的身体、在关系中理解这个世界。作为解释现象学的方法论,生活体验写作直面丰富多彩的生活世界和现象世界,力图恢复教师生活世界的丰富性,还原教育的完整性,是对教师存在意义的揭示,是合态度、方法与目的于一体的研究。好的生活体验写作是描述的也是倾听的,面对其局限性,教师生活体验写作需保持更开放的姿态。     

生命维度观照下的教师评价

从生命哲学的角度审视教师评价,是教师评价研究的新视域,也是时代的召唤。生命维度观照下的教师评价是一项系统工程,需要坚持评价目的的生命价值导向、评价标准的动态生成性、评价实施的对话、建构过程、评价结果的发展性解释与应用。教师评价需要走理论和实践相结合的道路,在思想上,坚持生命教育理念,坚持“生命发展”的评价理念,树立“以人为本”的教师观;在实践中,让教师参与评价,构建和谐、自由的评价氛围,建立既有基本底线又有较高要求的评价标准,使教师评价立足于教师生命存在,追求教师生命质量的提高和生命价值的实现。

Life in the Village: Teacher Community and Autonomy in an Early Childhood Education Center

This article presents findings from a qualitative case study of a public early childhood education center whose motto, the familiar African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child,” reflects the emphasis given to teacher community in the official school discourse. The meanings teachers gave to professional community were investigated. Interviews and observations were conducted at the school over a period of 12 months. Data analysis revealed an inherent tension between community ethos and personal autonomy. These findings suggest that professional teaching community is complex and contradictory, and that explicitly addressing the tension between community and autonomy would enhance teacher education and professional development.     

Teacher learning in a combined professional development intervention

The study examines geometry teachers' video club discussions in a two-year professional development intervention that combined lesson study, video clubs, and animation discussions to promote teacher noticing of students' prior knowledge. Most discussions pertained to student conceptions (78%), followed by pedagogy (19%). Discussion of students' prior knowledge surfaced only when talking about student conceptions or pedagogy. There was statistically significant evidence that teacher-initiated discussions of students' prior knowledge were more substantial than facilitator-initiated discussions. The findings suggest that the professional development model and the facilitators’ moves promoted and sustained teacher noticing of student thinking throughout the intervention.
