ABSTRACT

One of the distinctive characteristics of the work described here is that, as the course tutor, I attempted to be reflexive about the development that the teachers were being encouraged to achieve. My own professional development was interwoven with theirs, and I wanted to learn about both. Wherever possible, my reflection about one area of development has been informed by reflection about the other. Therefore, it seems appropriate to begin this chapter by presenting aspects of my own action research in a similar way to how the work of the teachers has been presented.
