Wrote about the model for my own clarification. Only when I could answer the questions about the nuances and when I could explain why we do what we do, did I begin to attempt formal training. Training for me was a culmination of a wide range of varied experiences over a long period of time. Now, let's think of all of the opportunities a school has for offering varying levels of training for teachers. Training should not be thought of as attending a conference or a seminar for a day or two.
Training is a growth process , gaining knowledge and enthusiasm over a period of time.
Perhaps the list that follows will encourage schools to think about how to take advantage of the time that is available in the school day. Visits to other classes in your own school. Mentoring or coaching other teachers. Inviting another teacher or an administrator to your classroom to observe you and to offer feedback. Small segments of faculty meeting time.
