Professional Development for Teachers

25 members

Description

This group aims to explore ways in which teachers in the ITEN region can improve their qualifications, teacher quality, and maintain their teaching excellence. We have a webinar next week with education specialist, Mary Burns, where she will show how teacher professional development efforts across the globe (from superstar nations like Singapore, Japan and Shanghai) to “stars” like Boston Public Schools to nations like Georgia and Ecuador that are pushing to improve teacher quality and teacher professional development—and to those who break the mold. The presentation will look at unique examples and pull together some lessons learned from these nations.

 

But, we would like to get the discussion going beforehand here on the Virtual Community. This group also aims to identify and analyze existing policies on professional development for teachers in the Americas.

    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.

    Hello teachers!

    We're inviting all professionals who work at different levels of teaching. ITEN is offering a toolkit on strategies to solve problems.

    Participants in this Toolkit will be able to identify the types and characteristics of problems from an educational perspective, as well as recognize and apply strategies to solve problems in different contexts. There are no prerequisites regarding the academic level of the participants. From the teacher in preparation to the most experienced educator, they all can benefit from this toolkit.
