Institutions Organisations Df. L Practitioner Individual case studies Df. L Co. P - Effective practice case studies

CAMEL & e. LISA encouraging initial findings: * benefits of collaborative Co. P for practitioners in design for learning sustainable low-cost Df. L case studies based on: * trust between partners * commitment and interest * distributed leadership * collaborative ethos * sharing re-usable resources

Some challenges * timescale and workloads * teachers don’t always want to share or re-create existing sequences * collaborative ethos may not fit in with institutional norms, trust building slowish

Nevertheless: * considerable opportunity for Df. L * exciting potential new understandings re. pedagogy * high levels of engagement by practitioners.
