Abstract
Collaboration is now the name of the game. Increasing complexity and the pace of change facing education systems have led to increased demands around teachers' practice and professionalism. A call from the OECD argues that education today necessitates “high-level knowledge workers who constantly advance their own professional knowledge as well as that of their profession” (Istance, Vincent-Lancran et al., 2012, p. 36). In line with this, a growing number of countries now expect that their teachers will draw on and generate evidence as they develop their practice. But an expectation of collective responsibility also underlies the quote.
