Hi Teachers!!

Check out this video on Teacher Professional Development Across the Globe: Stars, Superstars, and Strivers.

This course is taught by Mary Burns, Education Specialist. In the video she covers how improving teachers’ qualifications teacher quality and sustaining and maintaining teaching excellence is quite probably one of the most important priorities of many nations across the globe. This is particularly true in Latin America where there have been concerted systemic efforts to improve teacher quality.

St Lucia is in the Americas. St Lucia is one of the members of the Organisation of American States (OAS)

Hello everyone,

I am not from the Americas but in full support of professional development and dialogue. I hail from the tropical island of St. Lucia and hope to benefit and contribute to this group.

I was thinking of a flexible format for professional development. One where teachers share their experiences after each phase to be implemented and offer feedback and support to each other based on the student response and classroom culture which obtains.

Many times a wonderful idea is given but cannot be implemented wholesale and has to be adapted based on the context of the classroom which varies from state to state.

Hopefully, using this format teachers will develop professionally in more than one area and based on their needs. This will also lessen the chances of frustration and natural death of some programs and ideas.

Of course I foresee the need for a virtual space to manage this and possible per-arranged broadcasts to have dialogue in real time.

A penny for your thoughts :) .  

Regards.
