We here so much talk about quality teaching with elements, models, standards etc, but what is this really achieving?
We bombard our teachers with excessive workloads, give them new requirements to meet, new programs to implement and new agendas to follow. Just exactly in what time are they suppose to teach, let alone plan and assess.
I have worked in schools for nearly 20 years and frankly, its time to stop and take stock of what is actually happening.
Thankfully others are too. The current rise in popularity of POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY gives us hope that teachers can finally use a tool that does not require a committee meeting, extra funding or extra time. Tools in thinking communication and facilitation. This is what reap quality teaching is.
