Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a really nice paper describing the Teachers' Research Exchange (T-REX) (more), a professional development and learning community for teachers currently being piloted in Ireland. The article describes the thinking behind the project, including especially the attention it pays to the 'research-practice gap' and the design as a community of practice (CoP). The authors draw a parallel to the old TappedIn (previously: here and here) community, though in this case, " rather than having a focus just on outcomes for one key profession, the aim is to develop an integrated community of education researchers across multiple professions." This link is to the ResearchGate version of the paywalled TechTrends article.
