01 SES 12 B, Changing Teacher Professionality: Research and Practical Interventions in Europe and Beyond
Symposium
Contribution
This paper is linked to a doctoral study focussing on the impact of international networking and knowledge exchange on the professional identity of teachers. The perspective is shaped by experience of teacher union activity and involvement in international networking related to work for the British Council and the International Teacher Leadership initiative. This paper involves analysis of data drawn from interviews with teachers from Britain who have been involved in working with fellow teachers from other nations largely teachers from the Balkans. It explores the extent to which these teachers share a common professional identity with teachers from other nations and also whether this therefore constitutes a professional community. The paper will include a consideration of the implications for international networks and international teacher exchange programmes. It is also envisaged that the paper will support a discussion about ways in which the cultivation of international links may contribute to the global ‘Education for All’ campaign.
