Teacher beliefs: “the rock we stand on” (Johnson, 1999) : 

Teacher beliefs: “the rock we stand on” (Johnson, 1999) “Teachers’ [theories and] beliefs serve as a filter through which a host of instructional decisions are made” (Richards, 1998).

PowerPoint Presentation: 

“[…] Beliefs may reflect an extremely narrow view of teachers and teaching and thus limit the range of instructional considerations and classroom practices that teachers are willing or able to consider” (Johnson, 1999).

PowerPoint Presentation: 

If teachers’ beliefs are to shift, they must have something to shift to. “Teachers need to be provoked to question their experiences and to question their beliefs that are based on those experiences. Provocation is most likely to occur in conjunction with vivid alternative models of teaching” (Kennedy in Johnson, 1999).
