In Volume 7 Number 2 of this journal Mel Ainscow and Susan Hart introduced us to collaborative training. Here Catherine Clark takes this further and describes the specific technique of teacher narrative. She illustrates this with an example deployed on a course for teachers concerned with special educational needs. Her conclusion is that, in contemporary circumstances, course leaders will need to shift their focus from straightforward information dissemination to that of equal partnership.
