Premised on the dissolution of the centre/colony binary that for so long structured the reception and teaching of Shakespeare in the colonies, the book explores the use of local knowledge and experience to invigorate and renew learning. In elevating the value of the 'local', the book provides models of educational theory and practice that are transferable and adaptable. The editors have drawn on contributors with diverse areas of expertise including dramatic practitioners, historicist scholars, school teachers and academics who train teachers, and literary scholars with an interest in new theoretical and practical approaches to pedagogy.

It reviews the way features of the current debate on effective teaching, teacher learning and continuing professional development overlap and feed into each other and questions the extent to which professional development should be teacher initiated, based in communities of learning and collaborative contexts, and inclusive of different perspectives within these contexts. The paper draws on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin as a theoretical framework to help identify the successful and salient features of this project, as well as its limitation and difficulties. The author draws on her experience of working with the innovative learning communities created in an ongoing project between the English Department at the University of Sydney and the English teaching staff at a Sydney‐based private boys’ school, and on in‐depth interviews and document analysis of one case study involving two teachers within this project. The perspectives of both the academic staff and the teaching staff will be used to inform the exploration of this innovative instance of collaboration and its implications for the ongoing debate about professional development.
