Some assumptions
1. Teachers relate to common stages in their careers
2. Teachers do not develop in a linear way
3. Teachers’ expertise does not necessarily correlate to their number3. Teachers’ expertise does not necessarily correlate to their numberof years’ experience
4. Teachers’ expertise is context-related and an important part ofteacher development is “professional socialisation”
5. The ability to articulate and reflect on their work and discuss thiswith others is essential to the development of all teachers
