Description

This paper examines a model of professional development (PD) provided to support two, year 3 teachers while implementing new content incorporated within the new mathematics syllabus. The findings from this study suggest that the development of a professional learning community (PLC) extended the teachers’ Zone of Enactment which inturn lead to teacher agency. Teacher agency was demonstrated by the teachers leading their own learning as well as that of their students.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
