Abstract
I recently worked on a four-week, in-service teacher education programme in China. It was a collaboration between a British and a Chinese university, funded by a Chinese philanthropist. This article shares some reflections on the project that may be useful for comparable initiatives. As it was the first joint venture between the two universities, the design was exploratory, and, I think, fairly unusual in how it attempted to incorporate both top-down training and bottom-up teacher research, two threads often seen as distinct. As I evidence below, success was limited with regard to the second of these.
