Abstract
When one studies the TDLB standards, it is difficult to find any element — at least at Level 4 — which is not a statement of what competent, professional teaching entails, but there is a lot, in our view, which is missing. The standards fail to account for much of what teachers do and, more importantly, why they do it — the what and how of the thinking process, often called ‘reflective practice’, which underlies apparent pragmatism. Our concern is that the current NCVQ model of competence on which the TDLB standards are based is too inflexible to accommodate the dimension of this reflective professional process.Keywords
