Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Allgemeine Didaktik, Erziehungsziele, Methoden, Note: A+, Aga Khan University ((IED) INSTITUTE OF EDCUATION AND DEVELOPMENT), Veranstaltung: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: I teach in a primary school in the interior part of western Kenya. The school has a population of about seven hundred pupils with seventeen teachers - all certificate holders. Nine of the teachers are members of the English panel who have been in the profession for over ten years but have not undergone any professional learning. These teachers continue to implement traditional methods of teaching they have utilized since the start of their career. Adding to this is the highly individualistic nature of teaching in my station resulting in limited access to new ideas. There are currently no programs that exist to bring together experienced teachers to study effective teaching practices. This paper describes a plan of action for continuous teacher learning through collaborative reflective practice as a way through which English teachers in my station can systematically improve instruction and decrease teacher isolation.
