Teacher leadership and knowledge building : the experience of the HertsCam Network.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the HertsCam Network, a network of teachers and schools supported by a collaboration between a university faculty of education and a local education authority in the UK. It explores its potential for impact on the quality of teaching and learning in schools. It describes the development of the network, its aims, membership and structure and briefly outlines what has been learnt from an ongoing research project about the potential of the HertsCam Network to support teacher leadership within Hertfordshire schools.
