Improving Teachers’ Learning and Classroom Practices Workshop
Who is David PEDDER?
Professor David Pedder is Professor of Education and Director of Research at the University of Leicester, School of Education. Between 2000 and 2010 he was a Research Associate, Senior Research Associate, Lecturer and later Senior Lecturer at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education. His teaching and research interests are concerned with understanding processes, practices, perspectives and conditions that support improvement in the quality of teaching and learning in classrooms, schools and networks.
About the workshop
Understanding the effectiveness of teachers’ professional development hasbeen an important focus for researchers and policy-makers because of its potential for contributing to improvements in school development and the quality of teachers’ support for enhancing students’ learning experiences. The focus and purpose of this exclusive workshop was to critically consider different professional learning approaches to improve the quality of teachers’ and students’ learning in the classroom. We explored and analysed the patterns of professional learning orientation among teachers in the schools of England and compared different practical strategies for increasing the effectiveness of professional learning for improving the quality of student’s classroom learning.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

21. REFLECTION IS
a window through which the practitioner can view and focus
self within the context of his own lived experience in ways
that enable him to confront, understand and work towards
resolving the contradictions within his practice between what
is desirable and actual practice
22. Roth (1989) summarized the basic elements of
reflective process as follows,
Keeping an open mind about what, and how we do
things.
Awareness of what, why and how we do things.
Questioning what, why and how we do things.
Asking what, why and how other people do things.
Generating choices, options and possibilities.
Comparing and contrasting results.
Seeking to understand underlying mechanisms and
rationales.
Viewing our activities and results from various
perspectives.
Asking “What if …..?”
Seeking feedback and other people’s ideas and
viewpoints.
Using prescriptive (advice) models only when
carefully adapted to the individual situation.
Analyzing, synthesizing and testing.
Searching for, identifying and resolving problems
and result limitation
23. The 10 C’s of Reflection
Commitment – believing that self and practice
matter; accepting responsibility for self; the
openness, curiosity and willingness to
challenge normative ways of responding to
situations.
Contradiction – exposing and understanding
the contradiction between what is desirable
and actual practice.
Conflict – harnessing the energy of conflict
within contradiction to become empowered to
take appropriate action.
Challenge and Support – confronting the
practitioner’s normative attitudes, beliefs and
actions in ways that do not threaten the
practitioner .Beverly's Professional
Portfolio.pptx
Catharsis – working through negative
feelings.
Creation – moving beyond self to see and
understand new ways of viewing and
responding to practice.
Connection – connecting new insight within
the real world of practice; appreciating the
temporality over reality.
Caring – realizing desirable practice as
everyday reality.
Congruence - reflection as a mirror for
caring.
Constructing Personal Knowing in practice –
weaving personal knowing
with relevant extant theory in constructing
knowledge.
Johns' (2000b)
24. A poem on reflection
Ris for the concept of reflective practice
E aims to achieve it everyday
F means only the framework for the models of reflection
Lmeans a lifelong learner I’ll always be
E stands for experiential learning
C is for the construction of new knowledge.
T tells of the importance of time management
I is for individual reflection
Omeans that reflection will not grow old
N means dealing with negative feelings
Put them all together we get reflection. A concept that will forever reign
Editor's Notes
My comprises of both my personal and professional life. So my husband and grandmother are family but my pets are also included as they enhance my life as well.
This section deals with my profession. It reveals the length of time I have been in active teaching. I believe I was born to teach. This also demonstrates how much I am willing to upgrade my skills so I can improve my competency in the field.
I not only depend on training through the Government but have used my initiative and received proficiency in computer skills.
As any normal adult I engage in leisure activities. I also willingly attend workshops that will prove beneficial to me so that not only my professional but emotional and spiritual life can be enhanced.
As a teacher I take advantage of opportunities that can make me feel better about myself. In this way I feel more enthused when I can make valid contributions. I also try to assist students in need. Hence the co-ordination of a vacation camp in church.
That quote means a lot to me. Since education lies in respecting the student no matter the size. I always consider the students I teach be it infants or grade 6 as my biological children. In this way I take more interest in their learning and cater for their individual needs.
As a teacher appropriate planning must be done before, during and after a lesson and the students must be actively engaged with the content
When I begin the first term with students I aim to get to know them better and let them know what my policy is on discipline. Communicating with the parents is also essential as knowing what affects the child’s home life help solve some school related issues.
Classroom management policies are essential to effective teaching.
Students see this display each time they enter class. Three of my physically challenged pupils.
