Teaching For Success is an Organization that provides Professional Development Workshops for educators in schools or institutions at Primary, Secondary and Tertiary levels as well as Consultancy services for both educators and parents.
Â
What is Professional Development?
Professional Development in the education sector is ongoing learning to improve and strengthen educator’s performance levels and increase student achievement. It helps educators to develop knowledge and skills required to address student needs and identify their strengths, by analyzing student achievement data common to students in a grade or class. Professional development is best carried out in teams whereby teachers collaborate under the guidance of a facilitator or instructor allowing them to take collective responsibility for the success of all students rather than just their own. Formal processes include conferences, seminars or workshops, collaborative team work or courses. Informal professional development can be in the form of discussions amongst teachers, research, or peer- to-peer learning.
Â
How do teachers collaborate during professional deevelopment?
Teachers collect data to determine students’ strengths and needs in order to identify gaps in their learning. They then determine what they need to learn in order to close those gaps. After learning is complete, teachers implement new knowledge and skills in their classrooms. It is imperative that teachers also come up with a plan to measure student achievement in response to the new knowledge and skills learned from professional development. This can be assessed through techniques such as surveys, tests, observations, interviews, conferencing, standardized tests, etc. As teachers learn, adopt and apply new best practices, students’ success will be evident throughout the school student community. It is also important for teachers to discuss what worked well, or what didn’t after a reasonable period taken to implement new best practices.
Â
What modality does Teaching For Success utilize for Workshops and Consultancy Services?
