In this final clip, we see teachers in a
number of schools discussing the result of their
Learning Study projects. Common to all of them,
is a sense of professional achievement and joy
in the results of their collaboration. They are
well on the way to developing their schools as
a learning community.
The school learning community is one in which teachers
support each other, through mentoring the professional
development of new teachers, and enhancing the
ongoing professional development of each other
through peer review and Learning Study. In each
case, development comes through exercising the
skills of critical but also supportive comment,
based on perceptive and insightful observation
and analysis of lessons. In the learning community,
mentoring, peer review and Learning Study come
together to create a holistic environment of professional
development. |
