Consider the following terms: activist educator, collegial working, and teacher agency. Referring back to the
notion of the ‘activist professional’ considered in the earlier section on professionalism and proposed by

https://www.bera.ac.uk/blog/teacher-agency-what-is-it-and-why-does-it-matter ; finally consider the notes on
collegiality provided in this chapter. Discuss the potential overlap between these terms. How does one
influence the other, and where do they ‘fit’ within the discussion of educator as professional?
