Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:04:55 @SueAnnan Hi, chief #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:05:21 @Marisa_C Toi aussi #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:06:16 @Marisa_C  Do you feel empowered? #ELTChat
Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:07:12 @SueAnnan Very much so and you? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:07:45 @Marisa_C Yes. Last time I checked :-) #eltchat
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:08:09 Hello all. How are you? I gave some training today which I hope empowered some teachers and managers #eltchat

SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:08:55 @jonjoTESOL Hi. NIce to see you. How did your training empower? #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:09:41 @jonjoTESOL So knowledge and/or higher teaching competencies are empowerment #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:10:43 @Marisa_C @jonjoTESOL Or autonomy, to a certain extent. When we are micro-managed it feels belittling #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:12:13 The ability to choose what to teach and how perhaps and be respected by colleagues and management? #eltchat https://t.co/qdyysvDWKS
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:12:51 @SueAnnan I hope by giving them reaffirmation of their good classroom practices which would give more confidence in… https://t.co/ofh8T5pCA6
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:14:11 @jonjoTESOL Yes. Tell them to join us on here.I live on a small island, we have a similar vacuum to overcome. #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:14:57 @jonjoTESOL @SueAnnan so not in a vacuum right? we need a sharing community of peers #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:15:19 @Marisa_C @jonjoTESOL indeed we do #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:16:37 Does empowerment begin with confidence that we are on the right track? I mean not worried about impostor syndrome? #eltchat
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:18:50 @Marisa_C @SueAnnan It's never even thought of by Ts or management. And I think the attitude is is that it can be a… https://t.co/1s0EgN5BQb

Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:21:25 So what advice would you give employer who hope to empower their teachers #ELTchat
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:21:39 I think for me, a worry is how do you give empowerment to Ts who need severe correction in their teaching practices… https://t.co/Xg9uublhvB
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:22:35 @Marisa_C CPD is a must. But it needs to be something that advances the teaching in the classroom. #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:23:40 @Marisa_C And, Looking after teacher welfare is important too. #ELTChat. We are not cannon fodder!

naomishema 2019-03-20T19:29:41 Hi #eltchat! Sorry I'm late. I understand the topic is teacher empowerment? I've just looked briefly at your tweets.
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:30:31 @naomishema Hi Naomi.Do you have any good tips to empower teachers?#ELTChat

SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:32:30 @jonjoTESOL Not presenting, but you'll find me on the Trinity College stand for a part of each day. Come and say hello #eltchat
naomishema 2019-03-20T19:32:41 Give opportunities for them to be heard, to voice their opinions. Helps a bit to make teacher's more open to learning. #eltchat
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:33:02 I think for me, empowerment can be a vague idea. Can somebody give more direct examples or a definition? Is it just… https://t.co/PiCR4tA4Zj
Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:33:18 #eltchat Here is some advice I have to a group of LTO owners recently - do you agree? https://t.co/3dzicj72AR
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:33:21 @Michael37093679 That's great. IF, the CPD fits the needs of the teachers and they can choose what to do themselves #eltchat
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:33:38 @SueAnnan I certainly will! #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:34:17 #eltchat And asked them to consider a variety of means to do so such as: https://t.co/vukPZI181b
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:35:24 @Marisa_C Appreciation goes a long way to helping teachers'  self esteem #eltchat

Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:36:12 #ELTchat and of course, pay them as if you respected their work and not as if they were just there to be exploited
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:37:08 #ELTChat https://t.co/KuKr1gGYvc
naomishema 2019-03-20T19:37:55 It's CRUCIAL for any chance of improvement in the future. #eltchat https://t.co/x0qmK45Xz2

SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:41:28 @naomishema Sharing material is key- and difficult for teachers who seem to worry that their best stuff will be pirated #ELTChat
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:41:52 @SueAnnan @JessBCN You reminded me, I need to make/find a list of free journals that I can brose through occasionally. #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:41:56 @naomishema Yes. Me too #eltchat
naomishema 2019-03-20T19:42:13 Sounds like a wonderful idea that the field really needs! #eltchat https://t.co/AdnM53FjlQ
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:42:26 #ELTChat https://t.co/H2YIqDKZxw
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:42:54 @Marisa_C Get your abaya ready and fly over! :P #eltchat
Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:43:47 @jonjoTESOL Got two - just can't promise it will stay in place :-D #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:43:51 I agree. But it is a rare occurrence to have that sort of collaboration.  #eltchat

SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:46:08 What I'm getting is that teacher empowerment is often down to management practices #eltchat
jonjoTESOL 2019-03-20T19:47:11 @SueAnnan Perhaps we need a revolution. Against the establishment. Of some sorts #eltchat
naomishema 2019-03-20T19:47:30 Another thing I found helpful is to include some choice. Ts has to improve something but counselor can point out mo… https://t.co/6Ez9vOrju4
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:48:00 @jonjoTESOL I'm training at the moment. It's nice to see new teachers getting better at that kind of stuff and learning as they go #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-03-20T19:48:45 @jonjoTESOL I'm sure it has been tried :-) #ELTchat

Marisa_C 2019-03-20T19:50:52 Part of it is - a big part - but empowerment is also self-driven -#eltchat like here for example https://t.co/ExFkiZY5hq
