Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper argues that teacher learning is not reducible to lists of 'performative' standards. Funded by the Society for Educational Studies, we used 'lesson study' as a vehicle to develop new teacher expertise, following which we concluded that conceptualising 'learning to teach' as acquisition of standards is insufficient for understanding the process of teacher growth. We propose an alternative holistic vision.
