Popis: In this concluding chapter, Larsen and Allen consider the implications of their work for the kinds of policy and practice that may empower beginning teachers to develop productive ways of thinking about professional learning. They argue the need to think beyond the provision of quality professional learning opportunities to supporting beginning teachers’ identity work as professional learners. While making professional learning available to beginning teachers is extremely important, such action alone by policy makers and those working alongside beginning teachers in schools will fall short of developing the kinds of motivated and purposeful professional learners that are required in today’s schools. In this chapter, the authors consider the ways in which support for beginning teachers may be strengthened and deepened through a focus on professional learner identity.
