The aim of this paper is to analyse Irish school placement cooperating
teachers’ supervisory experiences when involved in various structures
of communities and explore factors which enabled or challenged
them in cultivating relationships with school placement stakeholders
where there is no formal system of supervision established in schools
in the Republic of Ireland. Describing learning as a social process,
research implies the significance of the development of relationships,
membership within communities and identity construction. Using
a qualitative approach, it was found that by formally engaging in a
supervisory process, cooperating teachers experienced each of these
characteristics to varying extents resulting in different supervisory
experiences. The different configurations of membership allowed
cooperating teachers to contribute towards school placement
collaboration.
