Principlev1

Construct professional identity through legitimate

Construct professional identity through legitimate peripheral participation in communities of practice rather than through credentials or aspirational labeling.

Why This Is a Principle

This derives from Constructivist Epistemology (knowledge is actively constructed through engagement), Expertise as Domain-Specific Schema Organization (expertise is organized domain-specific schemas), and Expertise Through Deliberate Practice (expertise develops through deliberate practice). The principle prescribes how to actually build professional identity rather than merely claiming it.
