On this episode, I talk about Communities of Practice and how they can be one way to combat professional isolation, and cultivate your professional development. Communities of Practice have emerged as really powerful mechanisms for facilitating knowledge sharing, collaboration, and learning and we are excited to dig into this today! Link to the article about the 7 principles of communities of practice as coined by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger here. I welcome your feedback about the show or ideas for future episodes.

Jean Lave and Étienne Wenger, Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation, 1991. Note: I'd say this is the least readable of the books I've covered so far, especially if you're allergic to jargon-heavy academic social science. On the plus side, it's only 123 pages (excluding bibliography and index). Étienne Wenger, Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning, and Identity, 1998"I sure as hell am not going to share my knowledge here for free!"Edwin Hutchins, Cognition in the Wild, 1996CreditsThe episode image is "Apprentice" by Louis Emile Adan (1839-1937), circa 1914, original copyrighted by Braun&Co., N.Y., but copyright not renewed.

Kulvarn Atwal is the headteacher - or rather, head learning leader - of two schools in Essex, and the author of The Thinking School. Kulvarn completed his doctorate in 2016, His thesis focuses on the factors that impact upon teacher engagement in professional learning activities, with a particular focus on action research - a topic close to my heart that we barely even touch upon in this conversation. His research draws on theories of workplace learning to provide a practical, powerful, proven framework for school improvement. His ideas are now being used by schools throughout the UK and Europe. This is a fascinating conversation in which we discuss why we should be more positive about our education system, and recognise how effective and inclusive it is; why we need to rethink how we capture and evaluate and celebrate the achievements of young people; and how to transform a school by focusing on the professional learning and development of teachers.

What can ethnography bring to the study of school reform? Christo Sims (UC San Diego) is an anthropologist whose award-winning ethnography lays bare the ‘technological idealism’ driving the past 20 years of school reform. We discuss the complexities of ethnographic research and writing, as well as how having Jean Lave as a substitute teacher proved a life-changing experience.

BEN: Hello from Houston! CHUCK: Jaim Zuber. JAIM: Hello from Minneapolis! CHUCK: Rod Schmidt. ROD: Hello from Salt Lake! CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. This week, we have a special guest, and that’s Ken, is it Auer? KEN: That’s correct! And I’m in Holly Springs, North Carolina. CHUCK: Awesome. We brought you on the show today to talk about “Software Craftsmanship”. KEN: Good! That’s what I came for! CHUCK: Oh, good! BEN: You mean cowboy coding? CHUCK: [Laughs] Cowboy coding… KEN: Not at all. CHUCK: [Laughs] Don’t make him get his gun. BEN: [Chuckles] CHUCK: Do you want to just explain what Software Craftsmanship is? KEN: In a nutshell, I would say caring about the craft and what you’re doing and how you’re building yourself with. I tend to come from the school that Software Craftsmanship as opposed to the people who software craftsman and impress other people [unclear]. CHUCK: [Laughs] I like that. I know a lot of the latter. I know a few other former, too. I’ve talked to few people about Software Craftsmanship before. The one that comes to mind first off is Micah Martin who’s Uncle Bob’s son over at 8th Light. When I talked to him, he actually mentioned the Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship. Is that something that you try and stand by? And, is there a lot of culture and (I’m trying to think of what the right word is), sort of like the Agile Manifesto where there’s all of this extra stuff around it. Does the Software Craftsmanship kind of have that as well? KEN: I think, what are in the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto, if I understand it right because I wasn’t there when they put it up, it’s really just about software people that are often just get them treated like mushrooms; shelved in the dark in the corner if they don’t, and hopefully they go out. The whole idea was, “This is something that we should be proud of and do well.
