In his book titled 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, ' Steven Covey has 'sharpening the saw' as his seventh habit. For educators, this habit could be defined as enlarging your experience or learning new skills or having once used successful teaching ideas recalled through professional development activities. In essence, for you as a young teacher who wants to provide the best for your classes, Texas continuing education units should form your core strategy of competence.
What is the need for teacher's professional development? It is out of doubt that a vast majority of our Primary-School-educators especially English educators are not aware of communicative English Language skills. Exploring quality issues is quite dark to them. One can always wonder where the educators are. Where are the students? Where is the curriculum?"
Even though we teach new students every year, we teach the same lessons, we see the same problems, but we get bored with what we do. Reviving our knowledge, competency and emotional base give us the opportunity to add interest and excitement to what we do and to get us out of our comfort zone and try something new and different.
By the five years cycle of education, students are supposed to learn how to master the 4 basic skills of English. More clearly, they become confident in understanding what the educators say in the classroom, they will read and understand from the text; they will speak English in the classroom and outside the classroom. Such students should also be able to write freely on familiar topics using simple words and sentences.
Professional development training for teachers can take up several forms. For example, a development program can be made as simple as observation of master and teacher. It can also be just attending a personally selected teaching workshop. Also, an individual can choose to participate in a mentor training program. This type of training can be made for both fresher as well as experienced educators for upgrading their skills. Many times, PD sessions are arranged in schools. Such all-staff workshops strengthen the unity and the bonding between the tutors.
On the personal front, be sure to adopt a set of procedures at each professional development opportunity you attended and always take notes. Apart from taking notes, you should also red-pen and list things you need to do on your return to school. While at school, prioritize the ideas from your action notes and create an action plan.
Your action plan should include some or all of the following: Write a teaching worksheet, write an assessment task, plan to use a new teaching strategy with your class and write a reminder to use a long-forgotten teaching idea/strategy. In the action plan, you can include writing up a report of that teaching strategy and buying resources and books for staff library. Finally, write up the report to be published for your staff on what you had learned.
The English educators should be subjected to high-quality training with the light of communicative approach. Doing so will help them to teach the English Language in the classroom more effectively and more appropriately. English educators should involve their students, by giving them individual work, pair work, group work, different games, and riddles, making interesting stories giving their voices, etc.
