He is recognised for his academic work on teacher cognition and teacher education and has published over 100 books, chapters and articles.
内容介绍：In this talk I explore the idea of teacher professional development as a social activity. This implies that teachers will grow effectively when they learn together and from another. Various concepts such as Communities of Practice and Teacher Learning Communities have been applied to the development of teachers, together with social strategies such as peer observation, lesson study and collaborative action research. These will be examined and their potential for teacher development in your context discussed.
