Abstract
This final chapter reviews the book as a whole, and draws together some of its threads. It also reflects on how this book is situated in the research literature as part of the continuous quest for understanding of teachers’ learning. In an attempt to synthesise contributions from all the chapters and summarise what can be learned, I discern relationships between challenges and opportunities that the authors address. The major thrusts of the discourse are woven into what, where and how teachers can learn, from which a resonance emerges.
