Cover Story: Beginning teachers have many needs as they enter the profession, including the need to develop teaching competencies and strengthen pedagogical approaches. Traditional forms of professional development have been criticized for failing to effect classroom practice and inadequately supporting new teachers. Design-based professional learning involves continuous cycles of designing learning tasks and analyzing evidence-based work with peers during and between sessions, supported by a collaboration with researcher–practitioners. This study uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine how new teachers were supported in their work towards improving student learning outcomes while strengthening their own teaching capabilities. School–university partnerships offer a promising and sustainable architecture for developing networks of support as new teachers become designers of learning. View this paper
