Abstract
Jaworski (2003) extended Lave and Wenger's (1991) idea about learning to teach through being engaged in a 'community of practice' to include teachers and researchers collaborating in a 'community of enquiry' as they investigate their own practice. Most beginning teachers feel overwhelmed and it can be a very intense time of reflection as they develop the habits and skills of good teaching. This paper describes the professional reflections of four participants when two university lecturers each made weekly visits to the classroom of a former university student to observe a lesson, followed by a time of shared reflection and planning.
