Teacher agency over curriculum and professional learning: Lock-step,

Teaching “lock-step” enabled knowledge sharing, accountability, and some individual adaptation. Implications include the potential benefits of lock-step norms for educational reforms and the value of teacher choice and voice in learning communities.
