由王平编著的这本《以实践共同体模式指导教师专业发展（一项对中国外语教师的个案研究）》是外教社博学文库中的其中一本。本书调查研究了高校外语教师对于专业发展项目的需求、过去参加相关项目的经历、以及相关发展项目的期望，揭示了一项将实践共同体框架运用到中国高校外语教师专业发展的个案研究。

《以实践共同体模式指导教师专业发展（一项对中国外语教师的个案研究）》在调查高校英语教师对于专业发展项目的需求的基础上，创建了“实践共同体框架指导下的促教师转化学习的专业发展模式”，并探讨教师在参与相关专业发展项目的过程中如何实现转化学习。所涉个案分析采用了定性和定量研究相结合的方法，并通过访谈、调查问卷、小组会议、博客、邮件等多渠道收集数据，真实可信，具有很大的参考价值和可操作性。但由于教师发展模式的实践过程远比预期设想的要复杂，该模式需结合不同的教学实际做进一步完善。
