Episode 46: Episode 46 - Bottom up Teacher Development with Claire Steele and Sarah Smith
Joining Christian in this latest episode of Developod are Claire Steele and Sarah Smith, Directors of Eltonix. They discuss the future of teacher development with a focus on 'bottom-up' teacher development, and in particular 'classroom-based inquiry' (or 'action research'), which they argue is both more teacher-centred and student-centred than most current forms of prescriptive professional development led by language school institutions.Information about Eltonix:Website: https://eltonix.com/Facebook Group: eltonix connects (a fund, friendly and international TD community)Previous related Developod episodes:Episode 36 Classroom-Based InquiryEpisode 18 Action ResearchEpisode 8 Creating a Culture of Teacher Development (with Silvana Richardson)
