ABSTRACT

The ARC was developed as an international initiative between the leadership and research staff at a residential special school in the UK and an associate professor of special education at the University of South Florida, USA. In trialing the design, it was fi eld tested by 49 special education practitioners in New Zealand. This chapter offers an insight into their perspectives on the ARC, which was introduced as part of a ten-day intensive professional development workshop focused upon ‘Inquiry into teaching’.
