The idea of participating in Educational Rounds has grown from a desire to provide a space for teachers to come together around difficult cases or issues from their individual practice, and engage in professional dialogue with others in the field in ways that inform and extend the understanding of all involved. A great deal of continuing teacher education and professional development is driven by Ministry initiatives, and subject content. Participating in Educational Rounds is a way for teachers to tailor their learning to address issues of concern and interest relating to their current context, while supporting and fostering professional dialogue among colleagues and the course faculty.
