Two teacher educators go back to school to learn

Two teacher educators taught in primary schools as part of their professional development. They found that their previous roles in educational contexts had a profound effect on the ways in which they had experienced the attachment, and their initial different perceptions led them to re-evaluate their experience. This paper reports and compares their experiences in terms of their preparation, their classroom actions, and their inital reflections. They argue that post-attachment professional discussion is necessary in order for professional development to take place in such a scheme. Copyright © 2001 Routledge.
