Khmer teacher training- outcome focused discussion- 29.04.2016

Let’s discuss and find solutions together to the question "Is there Khmer English teacher training available?’ and if so “How?” , “What?” and “Where?” . There will also be the following discussion points:

  • Which already existing organisations provide what training?
  • What kind of training is appropriate?
  • Lessons learnt from previous training rounds
    It will be a structured discussion which focusses on everyone walking away with additional knowledge, contacts or even a training plan.

Looking forward to seeing you there. Please invite other people who can contribute valuable information and want to be a part of this collaborational event.

Kind Regards

The Secret to Finland’s Success: Educating Teachers

No single thing can explain Finland’s outstanding educational performance. However, most analysts observe that excellent teachers play a critical role. Among the successful practices that we can take from Finland are:

  • The development of rigorous, research based teacher education programs that prepare teachers in content, pedagogy, and educational theory, as well as the capacity to do their own research, and that include field work mentored by expert veterans;

  • Significant financial support for teacher education, professional development, reasonable and equitable salaries, and supportive working conditions;

  • The creation of a respected profession in which teachers have considerable authority and autonomy, including responsibility for curriculum design and student assessment, which engages them in the ongoing analysis and refinement of practice.

Teachers’ capacity to teach in classrooms and work collaboratively in professional communities has been systematically built through academic teacher education. In addition, a critical condition for attracting the most able young people to teaching is that teacher’s work is an independent and respected profession, rather than just a technical implementation of externally mandated standards and tests. Teachers’ strong competence and preparedness creates the prerequisite for the professional autonomy that makes teaching a valued career.
