Now we can assert this has become a means to socialise our teacher development programme outcomes with a wider audience throughout the country. As in the previous number, I wish to express sincere thanks to the school teachers and my colleagues at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia for their enthusiastic work throughout the Teachers’ Professional Development Programme (TPDP). I also want to highlight their interest in contributing with articles to this journal and their encouragement during its preparation. Thanks are also due to professors Randall Barfield and Elizabeth Rodríguez for their expert support and advice during the review process. The Director Bogotá September, 2001
