Abstract

For two years, we (the authors) have worked in partnership as a teacher educator and a principal of a small rural primary school. This chapter relates the story of our partnership, initiated by the school and based upon shared interests in innovative pedagogies and learning through digital technologies. In the course of our partnership we have discovered that ours is only one of a multitude of partnerships inherent in the school’s mode of operation, and that each of these partnerships is characterised by sharing.
