Professional Development at ASK
We, at ASK, value our teachers' expertise and
knowledge, but understand, also, that teachers
should remain learners throughout their lives. To do
so, opportunities for professional growth and
development need to be readily available. This
statement, in itself, can be problematic in overseas
settings. While the world of internet allows many of
us to pursue further study, and opens a world of
information and material through the use of
technological links, there are many other avenues
that are difficult to pursue in "non-western"
settings. At ASK we are well aware of our teachers
needs, along with what is, or is not, readily
accessible in this region. In an effort to support
and nurture our teachers ASK is striving to gain
recognition as a leader for Professional Development
in the local area, and indeed, within the region.
In an attempt to support our teachers, enable their
continuous professional growth, and also foster and
improve student learning within the school, several
elements of an all- encompassing Professional
Development program have been initiated and
developed over the past two years. We continue on
this path - attempting to support further study, and
to provide opportunities not normally available in
the area.
Our Professional Development Program is being
developed within the following areas:
-
Professional Development Support and
Guidance
-
Teacher Evaluation
-
Teacher Mentoring
