Abstract
This chapter explores the theoretical and practical challenges and affordances involved in researching, developing and disseminating teacher expertise on a local scale in the Global South. It considers a key paradox that often undermines such efforts: how to develop quality without “importing” models, approaches and practices from northern educational systems that are often inappropriate for southern contexts. In addition to discussing a number of possible solutions for strengthening local expertise, the chapter provides a detailed description of one of these carried out by the author—a participatory case study of teacher expertise in Indian secondary education. As well as offering findings of importance to our understanding of teacher expertise in India, the approach adopted succeeded in making a comparative case study participatory, with the teachers both contributing to research questions and identifying other outputs of use to them and their colleagues. The chapter concludes by proposing a model for strengthening classroom practice and teacher education within national and regional contexts that draws upon both indigenous teacher expertise and teacher classroom research to offer a sustainable means for building context-specific prototypes of teacher expertise that may be of use in contexts across the Global South.
