Alternative approaches to professional development have been introduced in the Scottish education system, including coaching, mentoring, and learning communities.

The idea of learning communities, where teachers work together, has been a recent addition to continuing teacher development, but there are few publications that examine the use of strategies such as coaching, mentoring, and learning communities. A critical appraisal of policy and practice in relation to continuing teacher development is the focus this book.

Scrutinising both key conceptual issues and current policy developments and approaches, the authors analyse educational systems from around the world and question how different cultural contexts and systems can implement measures to improve teacher effectiveness. The book analyses factors such as policy change and teacher evaluation as well as the regulation of the teaching profession to determine how these aspects can influence the expertise of individual teachers. As numerous policy interventions have tried to define and enhance teacher quality to raise pupil achievement, this book calls for an interrogation of this stance and signals a need to consider an alternative approach. This book will appeal to students and scholars of teacher effectiveness and professional learning, as well as researchers and policymakers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52592296722705,"sku":"NLS9781137536532","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53036069912849,"sku":"NIN9781137536532","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781137536532.jpg?v=1761065638"},{"product_id":"leading-socially-just-schools-book-christine-forde-9781032413501","title":"Leading Socially Just Schools","description":"Equity and social justice have become central to the work of schools.
