In the "hectic activity" of teaching (Burton & Mickan, 1993, p. 115), we often have little time to reflect on successes or failures within our classes, and valuable opportunities for gaining new insights into pedagogic practice can be lost. There is a need, therefore, for a practical medium which enables us to explore these experiences more deeply and discover what is actually happening in the classroom. As a framework for teacher empowerment, Edge's (1992, 2002), Co-operative Development (CD) may offer teachers this kind of practical approach. This article examines how CD can be used by colleagues working together in a modified interactional environment to facilitate what Johnson describes as the fusion of "theoretical, personal, practical and experiential knowledge" (Johnson, 2000, p. 5) which may help us to develop greater awareness of and discover new possibilities in our teaching.
