In this paper we outline the philosophy and research foundations underpinning the development of CaBan – an Initial Teacher Education (ITE) Partnership developed for the purpose of educating the teachers of tomorrow for North Wales. CaBan represents an ambitious 'learning partnership' of five partners consisting of regional schools, Bangor University, University of Chester, the regional school improvement service (GwE), and the Collaborative Institute for Education Research, Evidence and Impact (CIEREI). Each partner plays a key role in fulfilling our ambitions to contribute to Our National Mission and achieve our vision of 'Growing Tomorrow's Teachers Together.' At its core, the goal of CaBan is to support our new Associate Teachers (ATs) to become creative, inspiring and highly skilled teachers who will contribute to the delivery of A curriculum for Wales – a curriculum for life (Welsh Government, 2015). In this paper we outline: (i) our basic vision and mission as a learning partnership; (ii) the evidence to support our strategic pedagogical position with respect to growing tomorrow's teachers; (iii) the crucial role of mentoring in the development of our ATs as critically reflective practitioners; (iv) how we integrate research as a fundamental element of all we do; (v) how our programme design is underpinned by the notion of professional enquiry and career long professional learning (vi) the specific modes of learning that help nurture ATs' sense of their 'teaching self '; and crucially (vii) the importance of Welsh culture and the Welsh language in education and the role the CaBan partnership has in building capacity to help realise Welsh Government's vision for a million Welsh speakers by 2050.

Yn y papur hwn rydym yn amlinellu'r athroniaeth a'r gwaith ymchwil sy'n sylfaen i ddatblygiad CaBan – Partneriaeth Addysg Gychwynnol i Athrawon (AGA) a ddatblygwyd er mwyn addysgu athrawon yfory yng ngogledd Cymru. Mae CaBan yn 'bartneriaeth ddysgu' uchelgeisiol sy'n cynnwys pum partner – ysgolion rhanbarthol, Prifysgol Bangor, Prifysgol Caer, y gwasanaeth gwella ysgolion rhanbarthol (GwE), a'r Sefydliad Cydweithredol dros Ymchwil Addysg, Tystiolaeth ac Effaith (CIEREI). Mae pob partner yn gwneud cyfraniad allweddol at wireddu ein huchelgais i gyfrannu at Genhadaeth Ein Cenedl a chyflawni ein gweledigaeth i 'Ddatblygu Athrawon Yfory Gyda'n Gilydd.' Nod sylfaenol CaBan yw cynorthwyo ein Hathrawon Cyswllt newydd i fod yn athrawon creadigol, hynod fedrus sy'n ysbrydoli, a fydd yn cyfrannu at y gwaith o gyflwyno Cwricwlwm i Gymru – cwricwlwm am oes (Llywodraeth Cymru, 2015). Mae'r papur hwn yn amlinellu: (i) ein gweledigaeth a chenhadaeth sylfaenol fel partneriaeth ddysgu; (ii) y dystiolaeth i gefnogi ein saf bwynt addysgegol strategol ar gyfer datblygu athrawon yfory; (iii) cyfraniad hanfodol mentora at ddatblygiad ein Hathrawon Cyswllt fel ymarferwyr adfyfyriol beirniadol; (iv) sut rydym yn integreiddio ymchwil fel elfen hanfodol o'n holl waith; (v) sut mae dyluniad ein rhaglen yn seiliedig ar y cysyniad o ymholiad proffesiynol a dysgu proffesiynol gydol gyrfa yr unigolyn; (vi) y dulliau dysgu penodol sy'n meithrin ymdeimlad Athrawon Cyswllt o'u 'hunaniaeth addysgu'; a (vii) pwysigrwydd diwylliant Cymru a'r iaith Gymraeg mewn addysg, a chyfraniad partneriaeth CaBan at ddatblygu gallu er mwyn helpu i wireddu gweledigaeth Llywodraeth Cymru o filiwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050.

The role of the adventure sports coach was first identified by Collins and Collins (2012) who suggested that the sports coaching process is significantly different in an adventurous context. Whilst there is a growing body of literature surrounding coaching pedagogy (Hay, Dickens, Crudginton & Engstrom, 2012), investigation of Going Pro coaching pedagogy within adventure sports is less common. Video ethnography is a well-documented field, with a broad base in the literature across many fields of study, and as technology progresses, new applications of that technology become apparent and require investigation. This paper details the development of a new method of data capture for qualitative analysis in the field of adventure sports research/adventure sports coaching pedagogy, using point of view (POV) video cameras as the primary means of data capture. Ethical and philosophical concerns are considered with a brief evaluation of the technique and suggestions for future use and development.
