ABSTRACT
In April 1990 I, along with some twenty colleagues, was invited to become a field tutor within the modular Bachelors and Masters degree programmes organised by Dorset LEA and Portsmouth Polytechnic. Several of the modules would be Practitioner Based Enquiry (PBE), in which individual teachers would follow through a particular educational interest, supported by the field tutor, with a view to producing a written report to contribute towards accreditation.
