Rationale for a Teachers’ Community Learning Forum

It is a common knowledge that teachers face mounting pressures to meet the demands of a revised curriculum and equip learners with the key skills required to succeed beyond the 21st century. Recurrent changes in education reform and higher expectations for teachers and student performance means teachers need to look beyond the confines of their classroom to sharpen their skills and improve their practice.

Valuable opportunities to work with external colleagues strengthens schools’ capacity to steer continuous improvement. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a forum for teachers to share strategies and approaches that work.

A self-sustaining model of professional learning.

There are fundamental and universal truths about education practice that cross cultural and socio-economic boundaries. School leaders and teachers share the same vision, passion and challenges to educate pupils and positively shape their future. Every student is different and has unique potential which requires individual learning approaches to increase their chances of success.

From my experience as a school leader and inspector, all schools have strengths to share and areas that require further development. Schools that have attained exemplary results consistently work hard to sustain improvements in order to maintain high standards.
