Abstract
In this paper we develop an innovative model for the development of teacher communities by using existing literature on communities in general and by looking at the specific contexts and characteristics of teaching communities in particular. The model relates different stages of development of teacher communities to different dimensions of their external and internal characteristics. We will furthermore use this model to develop measuring instruments that can be used to give an accurate view on a particular teacher community and its development and to offer information how to facilitate the teacher community.
