Workshops for teachers
On 21 February 2017 the teachers gathered to wonder how they understand the process of learning and what are their beliefs on this subject. Teachers worked in groups and their task was to create a description of an ideal school out of different puzzles. To do this, they had to answer the following questions:
1/ Why do we need schools? What is the aim of the school?
2/ What does the school teach? Why does it teach this?
3/ What is the curriculum? Who creates it?
4/ What are the teaching methods? How do we assess students?
5/ What is the role of the student, the teacher, the headteacher?
6/ What are the realtions between people?
7/ How is the leadership?
The teachers also discussed the results of using metaphors to describe what teaching others is like. As the result, the teachers came up with the conclusion that we all see our school in a similar way. We have different personalities, but our vision and priorities are similar. We act and think about our work in a very similar way.
