Öğretmenlik maalesef profesyonel bir meslek olarak görülmeyen ender mesleklerden biridir. Bu durum sadece bizim ülkemize özgü değildir. Mesleği profesyonel hâle getirmeyi birilerinden, kurumlardan veya devletten beklemenin de çok işe yaramayacağı açıktır. Profesyoneller, nitelikle ilgilenirler. Yaptıkları işler niteliklidir ve başkalarından da nitelikli işler yapmalarını ister ve beklerler.

Nitelik dünyası yüksek, yaptığı her işte nitelik arayan, bunu hayat felsefi olarak kabul etmiş ve aynı nitelikleri öğrencilerine kazandırmayı amaçlayan ve onların yaptığı her çalışmada nitelik arayan öğretmenler sayesinde, öğretmenlik profesyonel bir meslek olarak kabul görecektir.

İçerikte yer alan bilgiler, tamamen sınıf içi çalışmalarında ortaya çıkmış ve bizzat denenmiş pratik uygulamaları kapsamaktadır. Bazen, zaten bunları biliyorum; bazen de, bak bu konu ilginç deneyebilirim ya da okurken kafanızda soru işaretleri oluşacak ve o konu hakkında detaylı araştırma yapmak isteyebileceğiniz durumlar olacaktır. Bu çalışmanın, mesleğini profesyonelce yapmayı düşünen öğretmen adaylarına ve halen öğretmen olarak çalışanların sınıf içi öğretmenlik uygulamalarına katkı sağlaması düşünülmektedir

The aim of this course is to improve the quality of English language teaching by helping teachers improve themselves.

Current trends, theory and practice in Elt

In fact well-qualified teachers are the source of all these. The aim of this course is to improve the quality of English language teaching by helping teachers improve themselves.

Management, Leadership and Learning in Education

As educational professionals we are often so busy dealing with changes that ‘tweak’ the details of flawed systems (but still cause additional work and stress) that we are unable to step back, think about how we want to ‘do business’ in education, and learn to see with fresh eyes. With all the talk of ‘reform’ in education, debates on standards and assessment and rhetoric about the importance of educational leadership – we often forget that our role as educational supervisors, managers and leaders is more about learning, passion and purpose.
