School-Based Deliberative Partnership as a Platform for Teacher Professionalization and Curriculum Innovation (Routledge Research in Teacher Education)

This book examines the active professionalization and continuing education of teachers as subjects, agents and curriculum makers in partnerships with other educational partners. Drawing on Engestr m's Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), it provides a conceptual framework of curriculum innovation in school practice that focuses on processes of mutual meaning-making as boundary crossing between partners from different communities such as teachers, teacher educators, researchers and from other institutions. This concept has been developed and applied in various European Comenius projects that provide insights into curricular processes of change through school-based partnerships.
