Hands off management for effective student development by Chris Farrell
Channel: ELT Ireland
Date: 2018-11-13

This talk will focus on different strategies for managing Student Development in a large language institute which seek to give control to the teacher rather than to the institution. Unfortunately, a lot of ‘teacher development activities’ seem to be very top down institution led events which seek to train the teacher and tell them what type of teacher they should be, rather than look to include them in the process of their own development. This talk will look at some tactics and practical tools which can help us efficiently and effectively begin to create a negotiated teacher development
programme.
