Abstract | The "accomplished teacher" has emerged in educational policy as a term designed to capture the dispositions and skills of highly practised professionals. As such accomplishment is enacted within a current policy discourse of life-long, or career-long, professional learning which is concerned with continual self-development. This paper focuses on conceptualisations of "accomplishment" by a group of early-career teachers undertaking a masters certificate in professional enquiry. These conceptualisations of accomplishment, and their relation to the course, emerge through the teachers' talk-in-interaction and it is through the "small stories" the teachers tell of the everyday that their identities as accomplished teachers, and their desire for career-long professional learning, are constructed and performed. The questions addressed here are therefore: how is "accomplishment" construed and performed by early-career teachers; to what extent can "accomplishment" be fostered through intellectual engagement at masters-level; and how is the policy imaginary of "accomplishment" realised in and through the teachers' narratives? (As Provided). |
