Professional Development for Teachers

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.
