Effective Teacher Professional Development
Description
Every teacher has the potential to improve. So, just as we wish our students to be ongoing learners, we should expect the same from our teachers. But achieving this takes time, hard work, effort as well as continuous reflective practice, all things that only flourish in schools where a culture of improvement is embedded. For any leader looking to nurture truly great teaching in their school, establishing such a culture is therefore key.
Effective teacher professional development fosters not just a growth mindset but also creates an environment in which metacognitive thinking, challenge and respect are the norms, and where teachers are empowered as they become ever more comfortable stepping outside of their comfort zone.
In this webinar, Costa will offer practical suggestions and ideas on how schools can introduce professional learning programmes to ensure their teachers, both novice and expert, are able to confidently explore and experiment with new teaching strategies and innovative pedagogies.
