Professional Development For Teachers

The paper discusses results of a research on Russian teachers working in difficult social contexts (remote, back country regions, deprived town areas) with children at risk of educational failure.This research aimed to explore the existing practices of professional development for such teachers and its conclusions have formed the basis for developing a new model of professional development which implies the following features: continuity, individualisation, connection with the school’s general task of raising the quality of education, special training in teaching different groups of children.The model represents professional development as the individualised cyclic process which leads to refusal of routine and transition to modern practices of working with pupils with risks of low educational performance.The outcomes of this research may be of interest to education managers, advanced training specialists and can be applied within the national system of professional growth for teachers.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is twofold. First, we present an analysis of the main features of the teacher professional development (PD) models and programs currently considered of highest quality. This analysis is supported by the articles presented in the present monograph, and it also considers other studies that complement these perspectives. We show that axes of teacher change deal with career-long development, reflection in school-based communities of practice, and focus on students’ voices. In addition, we highlight the need for coherence between teacher policies and more global policies aimed at enhancing the quality of education. The second objective is to assess the situation of teacher PD within the Spanish education system, using the identified axes of teacher change as an analytic framework. The comparison reveals important limitations from the points of view of both the specific PD activities offered to teachers and underlying teacher PD model.
