This study seeks to examine how a supervisor scaffolds the student-teachers’ learning-to-teach process in the context of one-to-one tutoring sessions in an English as a foreign language teacher education programme in Argentina. The findings indicate that scaffolding implies two main phases: a diagnostic and an intervention phase. Moreover, the supervisor was found to provide contingent help, which suited the student-teachers’ perceived needs and/or difficulties. In conclusion, scaffolded help should be understood in relation to the function it serves and how it accommodates the students’ level of understanding.

The education of teachers in Canada typically consists of a sequence of non-integrated and partially alternating phases: pre-service university-based course work, pre-service school-based practica, job-imbedded induction, professional development sessions. This article proposes an integrative approach to the education of teachers that links these different phases: Collaborative Professional Development Centres. The article draws on teacher education scholarship and research to articulate a number of assumptions about learning to teach and the purpose of teacher education, and then argues (a) that the traditional non-integrated approach to the education of teachers is incompatible with these assumptions, and (b) that these assumptions provide an excellent framework for the idea of Collaborative Professional Development Centres.
