• How and to what extent are the two teachers maintaining a pleasant and productive conversation, even though disagreeing with each other?

• Can you recall any situation in which you were involved in this kind of professional dialogue with another colleague? In recounting the situation, were you content with the ways in which you resolved your disagreements?

• Give yourself a few minutes to consider the situation in your own school. In what ways does your overall experience in school and your role as a subject teacher provide you with opportunities to engage in this kind of professional dialogue? Are there ways in which you, as an individual, and the school as a whole, could create more opportunities for this kind of professional dialogue in the future?
