This paper explores the Estonian novice teachers’ learning and knowledge building (LKB) practices in the extended professional community during the induction programme using well-known knowledge conversion model.
The assumption in this study is that a teachers’ participation in the extended professional community facilitates their professional development.
The survey was conducted with 101 novices after their induction programme.
The patterns of novices’ LKB practices in the professional learning community during the induction programme were explored.
The analysis showed to what extent extended professional community may be formed during the induction year. LKB practice patterns among the novices were identified.
The authors discovered that many novices felt that there was insufficient support from other teachers and from university experts.

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors within the school environment that enhance and facilitate a teachers’ innovative behavior. Furthermore, it aims to examine whether it is possible to predict a teachers’ innovative behaviour with the proposed two-layer model (with self-efficacy being the first layer and teaching practices being the second). In this study, a model for predicting teachers’ innovative behaviour was proposed, with three general factors of school environment: interaction and involvement, need for innovation and freedom for innovation. The authors conclude that a teachers’ innovative potential is developed and used in the best possible way, when the school environment provides them with possibilities for self-development, recognition for their innovative behaviour and professional development and also constructive feedback from school management and the students’ parents.
