Detailed overview of the taxonomy for describing opportunities to learn (TxOTL) in FOLC meetings. A meeting segment is coded for communicative approach, concept development, and meeting segment category. Communicative approach is described by subcodes detailing who is talking and how perspectives (ideas) are considered. In the taxonomy, coding for concept development is restricted to pedagogical concepts; if it is determined that pedagogical concept development occurred in a segment, that segment gets labeled with the meeting segment category of Developing a Pedagogical Concept. If there is no pedagogical concept developed, the segment gets labeled as the appropriate one of the other 7 meeting segment categories. The dashed arrows indicate that the OTL in a meeting segment can be broadly characterized by the segment’s meeting category. The solid bracket signifies that in order to describe an OTL most accurately and in detail, all three taxonomy elements must be considered
