Attention: grammatical features, reasoning: weaknesses or thinking?
Response topics (surface or deep structures), response strategies (guided or controlled), response agents.
Reasoning:  with four sub-categories, Description, Interpretation, Positive Evaluation and Negative Evaluation.

In Wenger’s (1998) definition, CoP involve participants in a system consisting of joint enterprise, mutual engagement, and shared repertoire (Wenger, 1998). Joint enterprise refers to the negotiation made among members in response to the conditions and goals of certain CoP. Mutual engagement involves members in sustained interaction by which different roles and relationships arise from the interaction. Shared repertoire consists of symbols, tools, and language that used as shared resources and had meaning specific to certain CoP (Wenger, 1998). The three principles of CoP (Wenger, 1998) were used to code the data about the training features of the case cluster. To analyse the features of joint enter- prise, cluster meetings and interviews were used to identify how teachers selected a high-SRL classroom model to guide their lesson planning. Teaching artefacts such as lesson plans, worksheets, and assignments and the video-recorded open lessons were used to identify what a SRL lesson looked like. To analyse the features of mutual engagement, data from cluster meetings were employed to identify how the participants interacted in the meetings. The products produced from the cluster - lesson plans, teaching mate- rials, and open classes, were coded as shared repertoire. ]]> 2021-04-03 13:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1379448226 A teacher education model egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1381226004 “clusters”. A cluster was a unit of training, which con- sisted of a training tutor and ten to fifteen in-service teachers from three primary schools, with three to five teachers working in one school. All clusters shared a ten-session structure. Session one provided teacher participants with an introduction and session two and three engaged teachers in needs analysis and setting goals of in- dividual clusters. Teacher participants worked on planning a lesson from session four to six and participated in open class observation and after-class discussion from session seven to nine. In the final session, all participants of a cluster reviewed the learning process and outcomes. In each cluster, teachers from three schools developed a lesson that lasting 40e70 min, which was then taught by a teacher from one of three schools and observed by all teacher participants in the same cluster. ]]> 2021-04-04 18:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1381226004 Terms egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1381236930 PDC: Professional Digital Competence

Content knowledge (CK) is teachers’ knowledge about the subject matter to be learned or taught.
Pedagogical knowledge (PK) is teachers’ deep knowledge about the processes and practices or methods of teaching and learning.
Pedagogical Content Knowledge the transformation of the subject matter for teaching.The teacher interprets the subject matter, finds multiple ways to represent it, and adapts and tailors the instructional materials to alternative conceptions and students’ prior knowledge.
TPACK is an emergent form of knowledge that goes beyond all three “core” components (content, pedagogy, and technology). Technological pedagogical content knowledge is an understanding that emerges from interactions among content, pedagogy, and technology knowledge. a change in any one of the factors has to be ‘‘compensated’’ by changes in the other two.

One of these is the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model, which Mishra and Koehler (2006) expanded from the original concept of Shulman (1986, 1987). In the 1980s, Shulman argued that schools should combine pedagogy and content, thus proposing the concept of pedagogical content knowledge (Shulman 1986, 1987).
In their TPACK model, Mishra and Koehler (2006) expanded on the model of Shulman (1986, 1987) by integrating an additional area of focus. The TPACK model, thus, includes the following: technical knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and knowledge of content.

    The “tension between our investment in the various forms of belonging and our ability to negotiate the meanings that matter in those contexts”. Identification is reificative: We identify, or are being identified, as belonging to socially organized categories, roles, and so on. It is also participative: It is the lived experience of belonging that constitutes who we are. There- fore, identification is both relational and experiential.
    Freeman and Johnson (1998) point out, participation in the social practices and the sociocultural environments associated with teaching and learning is essential to learning how to teach.
    Legitimate access to practice: Wenger (1998) further dis- tinguishes between peripherality and marginality according to the tra- jectory of participation: Peripherality leads to full participation in meaning making in a community whereas marginality does not. (you need to accept your differences and recognize the competence valued by the community). Then you have the legitimacy of access. First you legitimate your own access and then you are given the legitimacy.

    Kubiak et al. (2015, p. 82) suggest, the boundary broker is positioned as a ‘liminal inside-outsider constantly faced with the challenge of how to make the practice of one community of practice relevant to another’.
    What is it? Development from the ‘first-order teaching skills’ of teaching pupils to the ‘second-order skills’ of teaching others to teach.  This is where the Third-Space activity and the role of the ‘boundary broker’ come into their own especially, perhaps, to create a symbiosis between craft and theory-related elements.
    successful boundary crossing entails specific personal factors such as communication/interaction skills and awareness of contextual factors in order to see an issue from another’s perspective and thereby become a broker.
     Wenger suggests that part of the role of a broker is to facilitate, to ‘make things easier’.
    Wenger (1998) suggests that brokers must be connected enough to the community of practice to have the legitimacy to be listened to but at the same time have enough distance to offer a different perspective which provides value to the community of practice.

Immediate value includes learning that is put to use immediately to solve a problem. Potential value includes benefits related to the shared skills and knowledge that can be realized at some time in the future. Applied value results from the application of shared skills and knowledge to new contexts. Realized value includes CoP participant and stakeholder reflections on how the skills and knowledge gained as a result of their participation in a CoP made a difference in their ability to achieve important goals. Lastly, reframed value involves the identification and definition of new criteria for success.

This ‘gift giving’ process starts with the creation of the gift by the mentor and ends with the protégé becoming a mentor and sharing the gift with another teacher candidate. The developmental dimension can be characterised by Maynard and Furlong’s (1993) apprenticeship, competency and reflective models. These models are actually the consecutive stages of mentoring. In the first stage, mentees work with mentors acting as role models and they observe the complex processes of teaching. In the second stage, mentees are engaged in a systematic process of observation and feedback. And, in the final stage, mentors act as co-enquirers to create mutual reflections on mentee’s teaching and learning. And, the contextual dimension is concentrated on how beginning teachers’ needs for learning are influenced and shaped by the school organization and culture, or context, which – therefore – should be supported by collaboration and inquiry. This process of mentored learning has been defined as ‘enculturation’ and it helps mentees simply fit into the school community and culture. ]]> 2021-04-06 20:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388933792 Teachers as active participants in their own learning encouraged through reflective practice (Clarke & Hollingsworth, 2002). egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388946484 Self-reflections, observations and interviews]]> 2021-04-06 20:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388946484 Teamwork egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388951884 Teachers can engage in conversation, collaboration and observation, which Fullan (2001) identifies as necessary for effective changes to pro- fessional practice, as well as individual and collaborative reflection on their experience of implementing new initiatives (]]> 2021-04-06 20:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388951884 Day and Sachs (2004) highlight the value of engaging teachers in professional development experiences which are meaningful and in alignment with their personal beliefs and values. egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388955634 2021-04-06 20:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388955634 egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1388962619 The term dialogic teaching is most directly associated with Alexander (2006), who states that spoken language should play a central role in teaching, since it provides an opportunity to influ- ence students' thought processes through their involvement in classroom discourse. Questions in dialogic teaching are structured in such a manner so as to provoke thoughtful answers and these answers are supposed to provoke further new questions.

This model of CPD supports a skills-based, technocratic view of teaching whereby CPD provides teachers with the opportunity to update their skills in order to be able to demonstrate their competence. It is generally ‘delivered’ to the teacher by an ‘expert’, with the agenda determined by the deliverer, and the participant placed in a passive role. While the training can take place within the institution in which the participant works, it is most commonly delivered off-site and is often subject to criticism about its lack of connection to the current classroom context in which participants work.

This may well be set within the context of performance management, which itself is subject to debate over its fundamental purpose. Rhodes & Beneicke (2003) point out that performance management can be viewed as a means of raising standards or ‘as an element of government intervention to exact greater efficiency, effectiveness and accountability’ (p. 124).]]> 2021-04-25 20:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1456996138 Cascade Model egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1456996883 The cascade model involves individual teachers attending ‘training events’ and then cascading or disseminating the information to colleagues.

This ‘scientific’ basis on which the standards movement relies limits the opportunities for alternative forms of CPD to be considered. It also relies heavily on a behaviourist perspective of learning, focusing on the competence of individual teachers and resultant rewards at the expense of collaborative and collegiate learning.]]> 2021-04-25 20:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1456998705 Coaching/Mentoring Model egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1456999519 The coaching/mentoring model covers a variety of CPD practices that are based on a range of philosophical premises. However, the defining characteristic of this model is the importance of the one-to-one relationship, generally between two teachers, which is designed to support CPD. Both coaching and mentoring share this characteristic, although most attempts to distinguish between the two suggest that coaching is more skills based and mentoring involves an element of ‘counselling and professional friendship’ (Rhodes & Beneicke, 2002, p. 301). Indeed, mentoring also often implies a relationship where one partner is novice and the other more experienced (Clutterbuck, 1991).]]> 2021-04-25 20:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1456999519 Community of Practice Model egulsen https://padlet.com/egulsen/q33csl3g21r1vke7/wish/1457000247 There is a clear relationship between communities of practice and the mutually supportive and challenging form of the coaching/mentoring model discussed above. The essential difference between the two is that a community of practice generally involves more than two people, and would not necessarily rely on confidentiality. However, the other form of the coaching/mentoring model of CPD discussed above – the hierarchical, assessment driven model – is perhaps not as closely related to the communities of practice model.
    Wenger (1998) contends that, while we are all members of various communities of practice, learning within these communities involves three essential processes:
    • evolving forms of mutual engagement;
    • understanding and tuning [their] enterprise;
    • developing [their] repertoire, styles and discourses (p. 95).

The ‘quality of action’ can be perceived as the participants’ understanding of the situation, as well as the practice within the situation.
    Advocates of the action research model (Weiner, 2002; Burbank & Kauchack, 2003) tend to suggest that it has a greater impact on practice when it is shared in communities of practice or enquiry, and indeed, many communities of practice will engage in action research. However, collaboration of the nature found in a community of practice is not a prerequisite of the action research model.
