They study, for example, changes in a teacher에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s interpersonal styles throughout his/her career (Wubbels, Levy, 1993), the development of a teacher에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s professional career (Foley, 2004), the constitution of various evolutionary phases in a teacher에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s life (Steffy et al., 2000), and the development of skills and knowledge (Anderson, 2002). The lecture describes a qualitative research which studied six teachers from their professional beginnings to the present position of an experienced 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트“ expert 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트“ teacher. The research method used is life story, through which the teacher에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s career is reconstructed. The key research question is: How did the teacher become an expert teacher? Specific questions: How does a teacher develop? How do an expert teacher에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s opinions, methods and knowledge develop?

The most important motor of change and particularly of a teacher에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s development was his/her decision and commitment to the development of his/her identity (Pittard, 2003). Snow and Anderson (1987) label this process as work on one에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s identity (it includes activities towards creation, presentation and maintenance of one에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s identity). I will talk about different strategies, which a teacher uses to influence the environment in his/her own classroom (student-to-teacher feedback, peer feedback, moral teaching, innovation, routine, intuition, and cooperating with pupils에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™ parents) and at school in general (informal relationships, verbal distancing, diplomacy, open wars, gossip, and shaman에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™s strategy).
