Abstract

Two different contexts for professional-development discussion led to qualitatively different learning opportunities for teachers in longitudinal collaboration. The two contexts differed in their (1) pragmatic usefulness to teachers' daily instruction, and (2) legitimacy within the teachers' institutional setting, as perceived by the teachers. Understanding these differences can contribute to the effectiveness of professional-development design that capitalizes on teachers' current practices. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
