Subject-area Teacher Networks, Teacher Professionalism, and Staff Development

By Brian Lord

This paper describes three subject-area teacher networks and the distinctive view of teacher professionalism implicit in their programs. These networks—CHART, UMC, and the Carnegie Science Partnerships—provide a range of activities in support of teachers' commitment to new knowledge in their subject areas, increase teachers' access to a broader network of professional relationships and enhance teachers' involvement in education reform and renewal. Together, these three components emerge as a foundation for a new paradigm of staff development.
