4. Science today is a 'vocation' organised in special
disciplines in the service of self-clarification and
knowledge of interrelated facts.
Max Weber, Science as a Vocation, 1946

5. An occupational culture:
Similar personal characteristics, backgrounds and experiences
Social interaction, shared experience, common training and
affiliation
Mutual support, associated values and norms
A distinct jargon
Shapes perceptions of reality by developing classification systems
to describe experiences and concepts
Johnson, Koh and Killough, 2009

6. Observing the behaviour of more experienced coaches during
practice and games and listening during informal periods
leaves its mark on novice coaches.
It is largely through such experiences that collective
understandings begin to develop, and the shared meanings
about the occupational culture of coaching starts to take shape.
... much of what a new coach learns is through ongoing
interactions in the practical coaching context, as well as a
variety of informal sources.

9. I have always looked at reflective practice as a
compass of sorts to guide teachers when they may
be seeking direction as to what they are doing in their
classrooms.
The metaphor of reflection as a compass enables
teachers to stop, look, and discover where they
are at that moment and then decide where they want
to go (professionally) in the future.
Farrell (2012)

10. Teacherhood must be based on a profound understanding
about the influence of childhood events on teacher students’
present identity—and on their future identity as teachers as
well.
Heikkilä, Uusiautti & Määttä (2012)
