Teacher Educators' Professional Learning in Communities explores
teacher educators' professional development in the communal model
of learning. Learning in groups has proved to be a major avenue for
supporting such development and change among teachers and other
professions, but one which has received sparse attention with
regards to teacher educators' development. This book aims to
examine such communities in order to identify factors that promote
or hinder professional learning for teacher educators. Blending
research on communal learning with seven years of practical
experience in these contexts, the authors present their analysis of
the communal professional development process and provide a
conceptual basis for understanding this type of professional
learning for teacher educators. The book addresses organizational
aspects of teacher educators' learning in communities, such as
creating a safe environment, group reflection, feedback and
discussion about student learning. Personal professional learning
aspects are also explored, including the reduction of personal
isolation, the process of transition towards change, and withdrawal
from the goals of the community. Finally, influences and
implications for professional learning among teacher educators are
discussed. Teacher educators stand at the crux of the entire
educational enterprise, because of their responsibility in training
the next generation of teachers. As such, their professional
development is increasingly important in promoting and advancing
educational practice. Integrating current literature with pictures
of practice about the use of the communal model in professional
development in educational settings, it will be of key interest to
researchers and postgraduate students in several fields:
professional development, teacher educators, and communities of
learners. Practitioners who are involved with the professional
development of teacher educators will also find this book extremely
useful.
