ABSTRACT Highly Accomplished Teachers (HATs) think deeply about skilled pedagogy in ways that illuminate its complexity and the challenges of pedagogical change. The sophistication, breadth, and depth of their thinking often goes well beyond the way that teachers and their responses to professional development (PD) are typically positioned in the extensive, and often quite pessimistic literature on teacher PD. This study extends our previous research with a cohort of HATs immediately following their participation in an intensive PD programme, where we reported how they took ideas from the programme and extended and amplified them by exerting agency and high degrees of professionalism. Our current study reports research with the same cohort 2 years post-PD as they sought to introduce ideas inspired by the PD within their schools. While there were some clear successes, some of their ideas challenged existing thinking and practices in ways that school leadership did not expect. Thus, they encountered barriers that in some cases they were able to navigate and overcome. This paper foregrounds the new complexities of both pedagogy and change that flowed from the HATs’ ideas as well as how they exerted their professionalism to tackle these.

ABSTRACT This paper draws from a review of the global literature on school leadership during the first 30 months of the pandemic (2020–2022), when educational leaders were faced with complexity on an unprecedented scale. COVID-19 challenged school leadership, providing opportunities to reflect on: leadership practice within and beyond school contexts; building relationships with wider communities and external stakeholders; established bureaucratic systems and ways of working (Author et al. under review). School leaders’ reliance on organisational stability, hierarchy and standardised practice was also challenged: reflective practice was needed, whilst responding to complex and demanding situations. Increased teacher autonomy and agency was encouraged and embraced, with ‘profound collaboration borne out of necessity and urgency’ (p. 393), highlighting the fluid practice of leadership rather than the role specificities of a leader. As school systems return to the business of in-person schooling and further away from the shock of the pandemic, the article renews calls to learn from experience and innovation. Three aspects are discussed, for supporting the development of school leadership/leaders capable of navigating complexity: school leadership; informal professional learning; formal professional learning. Our analysis provides insights into advancing professional learning approaches: accounting for complexity; enhancing teaching and learning; strengthening educator empowerment.

This study aims to unveil the complexity of introducing and sustaining instructional improvement at a school site by documenting successes and challenges encountered by a research-practice partnership among university researchers, school and district leaders, and a mathematics coordinator from the county office of education. The study answers two questions: How did a research-practice partnership attend to teachers’ voices and craft coherence around a school’s mathematics teaching improvement goals? What characterised the complexity of sustaining the improvement efforts? Data included meeting fieldnotes, teacher survey responses, and transcripts of interviews with teachers, school and district leaders, and the county coordinator. Qualitative thematic analyses revealed several ways in which the team attended to teacher voices and crafted coherence dynamically through interactions supported by tools and activities aimed at surfacing complexity and creating a shared vision. Points of convergence included a focus on adult learning and collaboration. Analyses also unveiled challenges, including the emotional work entailed in instructional change and the necessity to buffer the school from conflicting external demands. Conclusions highlight the importance of deliberate negotiation of tensions and crafting of coherence so that stakeholders can more easily build a shared vision for high-quality classroom teaching and high-quality teacher learning.
本研究旨在通过记录大学研究人员、学校和地区领导以及县教育办公室的数学协调员之间的研究-实践合作伙伴关系所取得的成功和遇到的挑战,揭示在学校现场引入和维持教学改进的复杂性。该研究回答了两个问题:研究与实践的伙伴关系如何关注教师的声音,并围绕学校的数学教学改进目标制定一致性?维持改进工作的复杂性的特征是什么?数据包括会议现场记录、教师调查反馈、与教师、学校和地区领导以及县协调员的访谈记录。定性专题分析揭示了团队关注教师声音的几种方式,并通过旨在揭示复杂性和创造共同愿景的工具和活动支持的互动来动态地构建一致性。共同点包括对成人学习和协作的关注。分析也揭示了挑战,包括教学变化所带来的情感工作,以及缓冲学校与冲突的外部需求的必要性。结论强调了有意协商紧张局势和制定一致性的重要性,以便利益攸关方能够更容易地就高质量课堂教学和高质量教师学习建立共同愿景。

Who chooses whom for professional interaction? A sociometric inquiry into teacher leadership 谁选择谁进行专业互动?教师领导能力的社会计量学研究

ABSTRACT Given the dyadic and multi-layered nature of professional relations, informal teacher learning mostly goes through complex, non-linear, and context-dependent professional interactions. Advice-seeking relationships (ASRs) are the most common form of informal interactions between teachers. However, due mostly to analytical constraints, little is known about the factors influencing ASRs in school settings. The paper aims to provide an empirical base for understanding the informal leadership exercised through between-teacher ASRs around technological and pedagogical expertise. To that end, inferential social network analysis (SNA) techniques are employed. Results showed teacher perception of positive school culture promotes pedagogical ASRs. Administrative leadership is significant in one-way advice flows from administrators to subordinates. Interpersonal similarities by gender and teaching experience are influential in peer selection for ASRs. Hybrid-expertise teachers, being equally headed for technological and pedagogical advice, occupy more central position in advice-networks. Regardless of school culture, technology-savvy teachers are more preferred for ASRs. The more teachers provide colleagues with technological advice, the more they assume a leading position for pedagogical advice, but not vice versa. Overall, the present SNA study sheds light on relational complexities of teacher leadership for professional learning that otherwise might not be salient when investigated using linear models on individual metrics.

Beyond reproduction: the transformative potential of professional learning 超越再生产:专业学习的变革潜力

There is an often unquestioned assumption that professional learning and development (PLD) is unequivocally a ‘good thing’ (Stevenson 2019). However, this assumption belies a much more complex situation, fraught with challenges. Numerous studies have demonstrated that teachers can experience significant barriers when trying to access PLD (OECD 2014), including limited access to appropriate opportunities, having insufficient time to undertake the opportunities that are available and that even when teachers do participate in PLD activities, impact can be limited (McChesney and Aldridge 2021). These are important challenges and should not be dismissed. However, they tend to generate policy responses that focus only on identifying ‘what works’ solutions within a set of parameters that do not question ‘what matters’ (Biesta 2007). Professional Development in Education has done much over the years to seek to move beyond this debate about structural challenges and practical solutions, and to open up discussion about more fundamental questions such as who is PLD for, who should decide, and what should it look like? We have sought to open up a discussion about ‘transformative professional learning’: both what it is and what it might be. This work has assumed many forms over the years, but a significant moment was the publication of Aileen Kennedy’s (2005) article ‘Models of Continuing Professional Development: A framework for analysis’ which distinguishes between transmissive and transformative modes of professional learning. These issues have been reflected since in ongoing debates within the journal and highlighted in the recent special issue on ‘Non-linear perspectives on teacher development: complexity in professional learning and practice’ (vol. 47, issues 2 and 3). However, despite these discussions, much of the research relating to professional learning remains focused on transmissive models that fail to question the fundamentally reproductive nature of much PLD. These initiatives are often managerially imposed, embedded within performative structures and are central to encouraging cultures that value conformity and compliance over radical change. Although such approaches have often co-opted the language of transformation, the reality suggests that very little is being transformed. The danger is that the language of ‘transformation’ becomes accepted as a contemporary ‘common sense’ – over-used and under-analysed. The ultimate irony is that learning processes that claim to be about change play a key role in reinforcing existing structures and their linked inequalities. In this Special Issue of PDiE, we explore the potential of professional learning to be disruptive – to challenge current inequalities, dominant ideas, and established orthodoxies. We seek to understand how professional learning can be genuinely transformative, not only by opening up possibilities that may be beyond our current imagination, but which connect abstract and conceptual thi
人们通常毫无疑问地认为,专业学习和发展(PLD)无疑是一件“好事”(Stevenson 2019)。然而,这种假设掩盖了一个更复杂的情况,充满了挑战。许多研究表明,教师在尝试获得PLD时可能会遇到重大障碍(OECD 2014),包括获得适当机会的机会有限,没有足够的时间来承担可用的机会,即使教师参与PLD活动,影响也可能有限(McChesney和Aldridge 2021)。这些都是重要的挑战,不应被忽视。然而,他们倾向于产生政策反应,只关注在一组参数中确定“什么有效”的解决方案,而不质疑“什么重要”(Biesta 2007)。多年来,教育专业发展已经做了很多工作,试图超越这种关于结构性挑战和实际解决方案的辩论,并就更基本的问题展开讨论,如PLD是为谁服务的,谁应该决定,它应该是什么样子?我们试图开启一场关于“变革性专业学习”的讨论:它是什么,它可能是什么。多年来,这方面的工作呈现出多种形式,但一个重要的时刻是艾琳·肯尼迪(2005年)的文章《持续专业发展模型:分析框架》的发表,该文章区分了专业学习的传播模式和变革模式。这些问题已经反映在杂志内部的持续辩论中,并在最近的特刊“教师发展的非线性视角:专业学习和实践的复杂性”(第47卷,第2期和第3期)中得到强调。然而,尽管有这些讨论,许多与专业学习相关的研究仍然集中在传播模型上,这些模型未能质疑许多PLD的根本繁殖性质。这些计划通常是管理强加的,嵌入在执行结构中,并且是鼓励重视一致性和遵从性而不是激进变化的文化的核心。尽管这些方法经常采用“转型”的语言,但现实表明,转型的东西很少。危险在于,“转型”的语言被当作一种当代的“常识”来接受——被过度使用而分析不足。最具讽刺意味的是,那些声称与变革有关的学习过程,在强化现有结构及其相关的不平等方面发挥了关键作用。在本期PDiE特刊中,我们探讨了专业学习具有颠覆性的潜力——挑战当前的不平等、主导思想和既定的正统观念。我们试图理解专业学习是如何真正具有变革性的,不仅是通过开辟可能超出我们当前想象的可能性,而且是通过将抽象和概念性思维与能够带来真正变化的实际行动联系起来——Freire(1970)称之为“责任心”。我们认为,变革的专业学习是使批判意识成为可能的学习,Mezirow(1981,第6页)将其描述为“意识形态如何反映和扭曲道德、社会和政治现实,以及什么物质和心理因素影响和维持它所代表的虚假意识——特别是物化的统治权力”的意识和理解。因此,变革性的专业学习是解放和解放的,但有时也会“迷失方向”(Mezirow 1991)。我们策划这期特刊的目的是为更联合的尝试提供动力,以挑战专业学习的主导方法,该方法侧重于2023年教育专业发展的尝试,第49卷,第1期。4,581 - 585 https://doi.org/10.1080/19415257.2023.2226971

ABSTRACT Using social constructivist theories of adult learning and complexity thinking perspectives, a long-term, multi-tiered professional development (PD) programme was designed, implemented and evaluated at Qatar University. This qualitative study explored the systems of influence on 24 university teachers’ professional agency for learning and leading sustainable change throughout their participation in the programme. Within the context of educational change, university teachers’ professional agency refers to their ability to exercise control, take stances, make choices and exert influence in ways that impact their learning and leading sustainable change. Using multiple sources of data, participants reported supports and constraints to their professional agency within multiple systems. These systems of influence included factors within the personal, PD programme, department/college, and university systems. Findings revealed variations in university teachers’ willingness and capacity to examine previously held beliefs, design innovative pedagogies, and become change agents. The findings underscore the notion of emergence as an explicit characteristic of learning and leading change within and across complex systems. Future iterations of the programme, and similarly constructed programmes in higher education contexts, should consider the systems of influence on university teachers’ professional agency for learning and make concerted efforts to support their ability to lead sustainable change.

ABSTRACT It is difficult to identify direct causal relationships between school-based professional learning initiatives and changes in the participating teachers’ competencies or their students’ learning outcomes. This paper contributes a novel approach to examining the impact of such school-based professional learning by integrating the constructs of complex systems and agentic practice into how the processes in curriculum re-design contribute to professional learning outcomes. The paper first presents an integrated multilayered conceptual framework that combines perspectives on complex systems and agentic practices. Next, it outlines the main levels and aspects of the complex system that need to be considered when examining school-based professional learning initiatives. Then, using a case from a multi-school professional development initiative illustrates how this framework was applied to examine the impact of a professional learning initiative focused on a collaborative science curriculum redesign to support English Language Learners (ELLs). Analysing the agentic practices that emerged within and across different complex system levels provides a comprehensive insight into how the system, constraints or amplifies particular practices.
