Title: Webinar: Teacher Professional Development Across the Globe: Stars, Superstars and Strivers
Author: Mary Burns
Summary: Improving teachers’ qualifications, improving teacher quality, and sustaining and maintaining teaching excellence is quite probably one of the most important priorities of many nations across the globe. This is particularly true in Latin America where there have been concerted systemic efforts to improve teacher quality. This presentation looks at teacher professional development efforts across the globe (from superstar nations like Singapore, Japan and Shanghai) to “stars” like the Boston Public Schools and to nations like Georgia and Ecuador that are pushing to improve teacher quality and teacher professional development. The presentation will look at unique examples and pull together some lessons learned from these nations.
