In "Continuing Cooperative Development," a series of guided tasks
helps the reader acquire specific skills of listening and
responding that, in turn, help a speaker to express and articulate
thoughts and plans that lie just beyond what they knew that they
knew.
By adopting a certain style of speaking and listening to colleagues
for agreed periods of time, motivated professionals can take
individual control of their own development and increase the
feeling of collegiality in their workplace. "Continuing Cooperative
Development" draws on Edge's experience of more than ten years
using this framework worldwide and provides authentic examples to
guide the reader. This interactive framework is demonstrated in the
book as part of a reflective teaching approach in response to
everyday classroom problems, and also as part of a more formal,
action-research approach to the formulation of local educational
theory.
The key theme of this book is the power of non-judgmental discourse
to facilitate the development of ideas and action, accessing both
cognitive and emotional intelligence. The transcribed and
interpreted data of authentic interactions from the Americas,
Europe, and Asia serve as evidence for the argument and as
guidelines for implementation.
The work is set in the field of TESOL, although its relevance
reaches across discipline boundaries. The teachers featured in the
book have duties ranging from the instruction of young learners to
the supervision of doctoral research. The common denominator is
that these people are motivated educators, committed to extending
their own understanding and developing their own style of being an
aware professional.
