@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 |

The ability to choose what to teach and how perhaps and be respected by colleagues and management? #eltchat https://t.co/qdyysvDWKS |

Marisa_C |
2019-03-20T19:14:57 |
@jonjoTESOL @SueAnnan so not in a vacuum right? we need a sharing community of peers #ELTchat |
SueAnnan |

@Marisa_C @jonjoTESOL indeed we do #eltchat |
SueAnnan |

Does empowerment begin with confidence that we are on the right track? I mean not worried about impostor syndrome? #eltchat |

@Marisa_C CPD is a must. But it needs to be something that advances the teaching in the classroom. #eltchat |

@Michael37093679 That's great. IF, the CPD fits the needs of the teachers and they can choose what to do themselves #eltchat |
