IDEAL FUTURE Work Package 3 Pedagogical Model

14 School meetings were mentioned several times, they were seen as a good opportunity to learn and share practice, the account again was often quite positive and facilitated collaboration, this may support the development of a learning community or culture as it is a low stakes and informal mode of building relationships and encouraging sharing. What we do a lot of in our staff meetings is we do carousels. So, it was something that we had done on a training day as well. Where basically we might do an e-learning carousel at a staff meeting. So, if there's a lot of information that we want to feedback on rather than somebody speaking at the staff meeting and some people not hearing it or some people might be distracted, we basically do a carousel where there might be 6 stations with a team. So, mine could be let's say resources. So, when staff come to me and they're small bunch, they can tell me what resources they need, what's working, what needs to be fixed (IE P2) We did an intro and staff meeting that brought everybody to the computer rooms to log in, to download their OneDrive profile and get using it and give them a chance to ask questions. So, we use the three labs and there's a teacher in each lab (IE P5) In addition, participants spoke about the transformative nature of on-the-job training and how it can reach those who traditionally would not be open to digital learning. These interactions provide opportunities for colleagues to learn from each other in an informal context and try new things without committing to formal programmes in which they may feel isolated, or learning might be out of contexts. Exchange of experience between teachers - seeing the teachers' methods, others may also be motivated to implement them in their subject (lv, in-service teacher, 2 years). She would be a bit allergic to it …. I just showed how to screen mirror because she had she smart. Support and then she told me a week later she the screen mirroring his class and other six class teachers. You must show me this. So, I tried to generally build on this. (IE P14) A couple of my colleagues would come over to me. Even if you're working in the staff room and they see me, like, writing on my Chromebook they are, Oh God. Like, what are you doing and like to take those few minutes to go, this is what I'm doing. (IE P3) Mentoring was also a quite popular model of informal professional learning however it was a category that was mentioned but not discussed in much detail, many interviewees were mentors themselves. “I would like to have a highly qualified and experienced mentor or coach to guide me.” (Sp P2) Technology mentors in school are essential, as are a tolerant and supportive attitude, and the opportunity for the teacher to put himself in the student's shoes. The most timid colleagues should be given individual attention, taking psychological aspects into account. (LV 9 years as school leader) we set up a digital buddy system. We had loads of teachers who IT (Information Technology) savvy, that immediately came on board right away. I am in charge of four or five teachers, and everyone then had a buddy to work with and it is reading. (IE P4) A few participants spoke about self-study resources such as you tube, websites, and in some cases, mentors created self-study resources to support staff within their own educational institute. give them the resources that that I've used in class and like I created booklets over the years of resources (IE P5) From the data it is evident that in terms of professional learning educators and educational leaders draw on a variety of professional learning experiences and that there is no one ideal approach, the combination of formal and informal learning provides opportunities to acquire external knowledge (within formal courses) and adapt and apply them within their own context (through informal
