Brief summary:
The aim of the training is to highlight the complexity of long-term teacher motivation, which includes aspects such as the teacher’s self-image, work, and life-long learning. We emphasize that the tools necessary for developing a successful teacher identity should be fundamentally provided during teacher training, and if these are lacking, they need to be supplemented through teacher training. During the training, participants will become familiar with their own personal and learning strengths, the steps to achieving flow experiences, the basics of positive pedagogy, and effective, practical learning strategies and methods, including brain-friendly learning strategies. The training aims to help teachers build and maintain a strong professional identity, which in turn supports more effective student learning.
Description:
The training shows how a teacher’s self-image can either support or hinder their professional growth, and it offers practical tools to help build a successful professional identity, while also exploring how to develop, maintain, and strengthen teacher identity. Participants will learn about the key elements of motivating teaching and discover methods like multiple intelligences and visible teaching that encourage independent, motivated learning. These methods can be easily adapted to their own teaching practices. The course also covers effective lifelong learning techniques. Using research-based methods, we provide specific tasks and resources to help with personal growth, better understanding of students, and organizing the participants’ existing knowledge and experiences into a clear framework.
Aims and objectives of the training:
- Participants will understand the concepts and characteristics of teacher motivation and successful professional teacher identity.
- Participants will be able to apply what they have learned, discover their own sources of motivation, and be aware of their personal and professional selves, which they can effectively implement in their work.
- They should recognize the importance of educational methods that support independent, motivated learning, such as the role of multiple intelligences and visible teaching.
- Participants will learn about the elements of the flow experience, the basics of positive pedagogy, and how to apply these in the learning process.
- They will also explore the development possibilities and steps for these methods, along with various strategies and techniques for lifelong learning, enabling them to assist their learners in becoming motivated and self-directed learners.
- Additionally, they will have the opportunity to try out some modern and practical methods and work towards integrating them into their own practice.
