Collegial learning that strengthens teaching
How can we at KI organise and develop collegial working methods that provide our teachers with support and inspiration in their teaching? In this conversation, colleagues from different departments share their experiences and good examples – and draw inspiration from international perspectives on Communities of Practice, based on the work of Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner.
