Teacher learning and student outcomes in the context of classroom discourse. Findings from a video-based teacher professional development programme

We present an innovative teacher professional development programme (TPD) focusing on the re-definition of teachers’ discourse behaviour. We report findings on teacher learning and student outcomes, and reflect on practical implications and directions for future research on the programme. In the “D...
