TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
This week, we search for a better professional development model in education. We begin by examining the outdated approaches and underscore the importance of respecting self-directed and active learning. The conversation emphasizes the need to capture the wisdom of teachers and provide them with choices in their professional development. It also highlights the challenges of implementing change and the role of coaches in supporting teachers. The use of technology, such as video recordings and asynchronous dialogue, is seen as a valuable tool for professional development. The conversation concludes with the idea that better-educating educators is essential for better educating students.
