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.
Join us!
Dear All,
In order to promote Professional Development in the region, my suggestion would be for us all to be familiar with some well-known Virtual Learning Platform such as Moodle and then we would be able to mount Professional Development courses virtually for all of us in the Caribbean.
There is a free course on Moodle Basics for teachers which has just statred and this may be an opportunity to jump on board. It is only four weeks long but it will open a host of possibilities for us.
Sincerely
Robert Geofroy
