Becoming a Teacher: Beyond Training – a webinar by Alan Maley

In a recent discussion, a teacher made this comment, “Now that I’ve finished my teacher training, I know how to teach. But I still don’t know how to be a teacher.” This talk is in part a response to that comment, which goes to the heart of teacher education. The results of an informal inquiry asking experienced teachers to recall a teacher from their past who they had particularly admired, liked and respected and to list the factors which led them to this conclusion. Overwhelmingly, it was personal qualities which dominated – of the five main characteristics only one referred to professional expertise.

Learning blockers! Let’s Identify them! – a webinar by Maria-Araxi Sachpazian

Learning is an act of curiosity and starts with curiosity, it is accentuated through observation and finally through exposure to information humans are led to actual acquisition. There are, of course, limitations. For example, how the information is organised makes a difference. Second, we are social beings, so our learning is social too. We love constructing knowledge with others and we thrive on feedback. In general, others play a part in our learning. Still, learning is personal, arduous and determined by motivation and personal engagement. Contrary to that, teachers these days are faced with lack of (intrinsic) motivation, limited and fluctuating student engagement and lack of student response all of which contribute to block learning.
