Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is one of those papers where I read about what teachers are doing to promote their own professional development and I ask why we aren't imagining such a process for learning generally. Here are the four main themes identified in the research: knowledge exchange; reflective practice; multifaceted learning opportunities; and just-in-time support. I can only imagine what my education would have looked like if characterized through these four themes. Sadly this report is far more focused on how the studies were conducted than in what they actually said.
