ECED 407 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6.5: Literature Review
Document Summary
Co-inquiry: my process for growing as a teacher and leader. To begin this process, i listened to the ideas of each teaching team to see how i could best support their professional development and our collective understanding of the school"s mission to be a cooperative community. ** it was also important to me as a teacher leader to respect the expertise of each teacher, most of whom had many more years of teaching experience than i did. The author: wanted to encourage teachers in their own reflective and risk-taking processes, while facilitating meaningful dialogues throughout the school community. By nurturing collegiality within teacher relationships, teachers can potentially be more effective in their collaboration, leading to deeper thinking about children and family support. To create space for listening, time needs to be set aside for structured dialogue about children and practice, as well as for extended musings and conversations.
