A Professional Learning Community for the New Teacher Professionalism: The Case of a State-Led Initiative in Singapore Schools
Lee, Daphnee; Lee, Wing On
British Journal of Educational Studies, v61 n4 p435-451 2013
This paper seeks to explore the empirical fit of two PLC models, using Singapore as a case. Insights emerged from documentary analyses and interviews with state-affiliated agents from the Academy of Singapore Teachers. The proposed DuFour--Fullan model, despite policy aspirations, remains largely DuFour-predominant in practice. Aspirations for a Fullan-inspired approach are evident, but still rest in the stage of conceptualization.
