Transcript of Future for Teachers
IMPROVING THE TEACHER IMAGE!Don’t go near Miss Head,
Just stay in bed,
Jump in a box and hide
Our old teacher
Is fond of the little ones
Roasted, frittered or fried!
До госпожа Главчева не доближавай!!
Или в леглото си се излежавай,
или кашон голям си намери,
скачай в него и очите затвори!
И защо – деца обича госпожата наша,
нооо..... печени, пържени или сготвени на каша!
A verse by a student about teachers!
Стихче, написано от ученик за учителите!

THE EU AIMS TO IMPROVE THE IMAGE OF TEACHERS & TEACHING
because....
• Education is vital for global understanding• Education standards vary across Europe
• There is no consensus about education purposes/goals
• Education targets critical thinking & knowledge above creative thinking & understanding required for jobs
A project to meet aims includes BULGARIA
RAISING STANDARDS OF TEACHERS & TEACHINGPOLICY FOR EDUCATOR EVIDENCE IN PORTFOLIOS (PEEP)
Based on EU principles for teachers & 3 career stages: initial, mid, specialist
Well qualified
Continual Professional Development
Partnerships
Mobility
Evidence of personal & professional development Formal - qualifications
Non-formal - planned – curriculum project
Informal - unplanned – competencies gained
from activities like learning a language
‘In seeking knowledge - the first step is silence -the second listening - the third remembering -
the fourth practising & the fifth - teaching others’ Solomon & Gabirol
Teachers do an important job
Tracking careers with a broader range of evidence establishes professional status strongly & clearly
E-portfolios enable sharing with others for many purposes –job interviews, annual appraisals & staff training
Professions using e-portfolios report they help reflective practice, monitor career development & bring pride in achievements
USING AN E-PORTFOLIO RAISES STANDARDS
•Educate for humanity & understanding as well as knowledge ...
•Target communicative & cultural issues in diversity
•Form relationships with successful nations
•Value talk as the technology for understanding
•Facilitate images & non-verbal communication
•Loosen learning frameworks & increase freedom
