MarjorieRosenbe 6/3/2015 20:07 Have a bit of time tonight. #eltchat
HanaHainsworth 6/3/2015 20:07 I guess for me career dev is all about trying new things, taking more responsibility #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:07 @MarjorieRosenbe Yey!! :-) Welcome Marjorie #ELTchat
joannacre 6/3/2015 20:07 @angelos_bollas get qualifications I guess #eltchat
juliacphang 6/3/2015 20:07 Hello! #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:08 @HanaHainsworth What comes before that tho? Is there a stage before the one you describe? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:08 @juliacphang Hi Julia #ELTchat
MarjorieRosenbe 6/3/2015 20:08 @angelos_bollas I think joining a teaching association is a great 1st step. #eltchat

MarjorieRosenbe 6/3/2015 20:09 @joannacre hi Joanna #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:09 @fielsted Why different? #ELTchat
joannacre 6/3/2015 20:09 @HanaHainsworth Yes, trying new things/contexts-extending knowledge #eltchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:09 @angelos_bollas Whoops sorry! #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:09 @MarjorieRosenbe The first teaching association I joined was IATEFL last year - after 8 years of teaching :( #ELTchat
juliacphang 6/3/2015 20:09 @joannacre @angelos_bollas Yep, CELTA or Trinity as first step usually #ELTchat
MartinaEmke 6/3/2015 20:10 #eltchat - first step in ELT world depends where you are starting from: (non) native speaker, (no) initial teacher training, pers. interest
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:10 Any personal tales, please? #ELTchat  https://t.co/RJtQyHANgP
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:10 @angelos_bollas My sense is that NNST training in non-English speaking country might be more inclined to take uni quals in EFL? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:10 Hashtag please :) #ELTchat  https://t.co/WarXHOC4Dt
HanaHainsworth 6/3/2015 20:10 #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:10 Do you agree? #ELTchat  https://t.co/gYWTs9mkZl
joannacre 6/3/2015 20:11 @angelos_bollas @MarjorieRosenbe I joined Iatefl two yrs ago after 16yrs of teaching!! #eltchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:11 @angelos_bollas Could be wrong of course, just a sense #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 6/3/2015 20:11 @angelos_bollas And a local TA? Great way to network and learn from colleagues.  #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:12 @fielsted No right/wrong here.. just asking about your opinion. :) #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:12 @MarjorieRosenbe If TA very active, it motivates its members to grow and become better all the time, I think #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 6/3/2015 20:13 Hello all, sorry I'm a bit late #ELTchat
joannacre 6/3/2015 20:13 @MarjorieRosenbe @angelos_bollas definitely and conferences- u meet ppl-u learn stuff #eltchat

fielsted 6/3/2015 20:13 @juliacphang I think the 'taking more responsibility' is important. Seems progression in career is dependent on this. #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:13 Are you talking about different roles? #ELTchat  https://t.co/rsTffU6kPS
BradELT 6/3/2015 20:13 Besides the obvious - certifications - I think development is about trying new roles such as training, publishing etc. #eltchat
KateLloyd05 6/3/2015 20:14 @joannacre @angelos_bollas @MarjorieRosenbe I also joined after 8 years of teaching #ELTchat
HanaHainsworth 6/3/2015 20:14 I think there's so much cool (free) online stuff out there for ELT career development at the mo #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:14 @BradELT Hi, Brad - Is career development only about working in different roles? #ELTchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:14 @juliacphang Often taking that 'responsibility' means less time in classroom. #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:14 RT @HanaHainsworth: I think there's so much cool (free) online stuff out there for ELT career development at the mo #ELTchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:14 @juliacphang To progress career wise do we have to move into ac management? #eltchat
MartinaEmke 6/3/2015 20:15 @fielsted @angelos_bollas - could be but not in my case; started as a freelancer in Germany  with no formal qualifications in ELT #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 6/3/2015 20:15 @joannacre @HanaHainsworth yes think first step is teaching different types of classes:yl, business,exam,diff levels #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:15 Same here, Martina #ELTchat  https://t.co/W7O4pNYdyo
joannacre 6/3/2015 20:15 @fielsted @juliacphang Yes, and being willing to learn. Not rest on ur laurels!! #eltchat
joannacre 6/3/2015 20:15 RT @BradELT: Besides the obvious - certifications - I think development is about trying new roles such as training, publishing etc. #eltchat
KateLloyd05 6/3/2015 20:16 @fielsted @juliacphang you shouldn't have to.....but it's often assumed once you do a Dip #ELTchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:16 @angelos_bollas Yes #eltchat
juliacphang 6/3/2015 20:16 @joannacre @fielsted Agreed! #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:16 What about a teacher who wishes to remain a teacher and is not willing to move to a different role? No career development for them? #ELTchat
HanaHainsworth 6/3/2015 20:16 Also mentoring, ST roles, giving workshops #eltchat
MarjorieRosenbe 6/3/2015 20:16 @joannacre @HanaHainsworth Agree about trying out new things. #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:16 @KateLloyd05 Why 'shouldn't' ?@fielsted @juliacphang #ELTchat
MartinaEmke 6/3/2015 20:16 @fielsted @juliacphang  - agree completely & willingness to develop in unexpected ways #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/3/2015 20:17 Hi everyone, sorry I'm late. Thought I wouldn't be able to make it! Pheeww! #ELTchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:17 @MartinaEmke @angelos_bollas Me too actually. In Japan for a year with no teaching quals. In at the deep end. #eltchat
KateLloyd05 6/3/2015 20:17 @angelos_bollas change teaching situation? Better terms and conditions, more prof environment? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:18 @HadaLitim Welcome Hada :) #ELTchat
juliacphang 6/3/2015 20:18 @angelos_bollas You can still give presentations/lead workshops, teach different levels etc #ELTchat

juliacphang 6/3/2015 20:18 @HadaLitim Hello :) #ELTchat
stella_maris05 6/3/2015 20:18 @angelos_bollas Still they can develop by exchanging ideas with colleagues, or attending conferences #ELTchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:18 @MarjorieRosenbe @joannacre @HanaHainsworth Seems to me being 'flexible' and willing goes a long way in the ELT world. #eltchat
HanaHainsworth 6/3/2015 20:19 I think conferences are great (both local and international) for career dev for teachers who want to keep teaching #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:19 @KateLloyd05 So, are there two paths? A horizontal (same role better post) and a vertical one (going up the career ladder)? #ELTchat

joannacre 6/3/2015 20:29 @HadaLitim I am going to ask a hard question. Do u think career dev has to do with who u know as well? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:29 @BradELT True-My q is that Ts do a lot lately to develop their practice-what abt dvlping their careers(better salary, posts, etc)? #ELTchat

HadaLitim 6/3/2015 20:30 @joannacre Well, in some cases it could be. But if you know them, could it be that you put urself there to start with? #ELTchat

joannacre 6/3/2015 20:32 @HadaLitim it's getting one foot in the door. Doesn't mean u can keep a job or excel #eltchat
juliacphang 6/3/2015 20:33 @HadaLitim Partly just that I'd enjoy studying again&would find it interesting,but also potential career opportunities in future #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 6/3/2015 20:33 @tattoodaisy @HadaLitim think it's just delta preferred but will accept CELTA #ELTchat
HadaLitim 6/3/2015 20:33 @KateLloyd05  Do you also have a Delta? #ELTchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:33 @angelos_bollas @HadaLitim Financial reward must be an issue. Can you stay in the same role and get significant pay increases?#eltchat

tattoodaisy 6/3/2015 20:33 @juliacphang I wonder how managers who never teach relate to changes and keep uptodate, easy to forget what it's like in class #ELTchat

BradELT 6/3/2015 20:34 @KateLloyd05 @angelos_bollas but I wonder if even just changing schools and not necessarily positions is also part of development #eltchat
fielsted 6/3/2015 20:34 @angelos_bollas @HadaLitim Maybe £ really isn't so crucial for many.Also what abt job security?Contracts more likely in management #eltchat

HanaHainsworth 6/3/2015 20:45 @fielsted @angelos_bollas  yeah I think the money is part of it but it's also a bit of a status thing 'I work at a uni' #ELTchat

tattoodaisy 6/3/2015 20:45 @HadaLitim @KateLloyd05 I think, worldwide an MA is more recognised, & if given a choice it may for that reason be a better option #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/3/2015 20:46 Is it a taboo for a T to aim for better salary and recognition after all? #ELTchat
racheldaw18 6/3/2015 20:46 @KateLloyd05 @tattoodaisy @juliacphang I shall certainly try to blog it :) it's seminars (big school, 40/50 teachers) and obs etc! #ELTchat
