Abstract

Current approaches to professional learning for teachers seek to harmonize development activities with the demands of classroom practice and system-wide efforts to improve. The need for high quality learning experiences, on-site, which make the links between theory (aspiration) and practice (performance) relevant and real presents a challenge for in-service providers. Teacher-in-residence is a promising approach that engages teachers in a critical examination of new methods of teaching focused on the integration of health with academic study.
