Competentie-ontwikkeling is gebaseerd op het doorontwikkelen van bestaande competenties. Voor beginnende leraren is de bestaande opvatting over de rol van de leraar de beginsituatie. De wijze waarop studenten van de lerarenopleiding hun opleidingsschool percipiëren is van invloed op de mate waarin zij traditionele of meer ontwikkelingsgerichte competenties ontwikkelen.

In juni 2006 kwamen sleutelfiguren van hogescholen en universiteiten in een expertmeeting bijeen om ervaringen uit te wisselen over het beoordelen 1 van (competenties van) docenten. Deelnemers bogen zich over ‘good practices’ uit zowel hbo als wo. In dit artikel worden de portfoliobeoordelingsprocedures van vier van deze voorbeeldinstellingen beschreven en vergeleken aan de hand van relevante topics. Vervolgens worden de beoordelingsprocedures zelf beoordeeld aan de hand van kwaliteitscriteria. Er wordt afgesloten met conclusies en aanbevelingen. Met dit artikel hopen we onze ervaringen gesystematiseerd toegankelijk te maken voor andere ho-instellingen. We hopen tevens een bijdrage te leveren aan de discussie over het ontwikkelen en beoordelen van docentcompetenties en aan de verdere kwaliteitsverbetering van portfoliobeoordeling.

In bilingual streams in the Netherlands, school subjects are taught in an additional language so that pupils learn both subject content and the target language by using language meaningfully. Teachers of English in bilingual streams (TEBs) are often expected to collaborate with subject teacher colleagues (STs). In addition, they teach separate language lessons. This provides TEBs with specific challenges. This article reports on a focus group (FG) study exploring the extent to which the ideals of stakeholders in bilingual schools in the Netherlands reflect the literature on this topic, using a frame of reference developed for this purpose (Dale, Oostdam & Verspoor, 2017). Five FGs were held with TEBs and STs from Dutch schools in the network for bilingual education and with members of the network’s quality assurance panels. Each FG consisted of between three and six participants with a similar role in bilingual education; audit panel chairpersons, audit panel secretaries and STs and TEBs from different schools. Participants were asked to discuss what an ideal English teacher would do in English lessons and in cooperation with subject colleagues. Data consists of five transcripts of the FG discussions. On the basis of inductive and deductive analyses (using MaxQDA), the ideals of stakeholders are positioned in the framework to explore to what extent different types of stakeholders have complementary or conflicting views. The findings suggest that stakeholders need to develop more shared understandings and a shared language to allow TEBs to realise their ambitions. References Dale, L., Oostdam, R., & Verspoor, M.
