– a hallmark of proposed ‘Professional Standards’The Ministry of Education is looking to introduce a ‘Professional Standards’ for Teachers that is expected to help improve the delivery of education.  This strategic tactic, according to Chief Education Officer, Olato Sam, was devised with the intention of addressing all of the expectations for education practitioners.Sam, who was speaking at an Education Ministry press conference last week, disclosed that this mechanism is one that will seek to give attention to the required skills and knowledge of educators. Additionally, he pointed out that it will direct much focus to the professional dispositions that “are expected of our teachers or the attitudes and behaviours that they should exhibit.”The Professional Standards for Teachers will therefore set expectations for achieving desired educational outcomes and also amplify the importance of the performance of those who teach, lead, and/or supervise the education system.And according to the information out of the Ministry of Education such performance is the collective outcome of pre-service training, ongoing professional development, and the experience gained through the practice of the profession.However, since the education professional is ultimately responsible for his or her impact on the system, it is therefore expected that the assessment of the standards will be based on practice rather than on examinations.“These standards are not intended as a tool for punitive action. Rather they reflect professional consensus of what is desirable in the supervision, leadership and delivery of education. They also provide a framework that permits professionals to engage in self-assessment,china jerseys cheap,” a statement from the Education Ministry indicated.The proposed standards are aligned to the Organization of American States (OAS), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and other international standards,wholesale jerseys usa, and therefore offer the professional community specifications against which teachers are able to set goals for personal development and progress in the profession.Moreover, the need for teachers to embrace professional standards has even been amplified by CARICOM Secretary-General, Ambassador Irwin LaRocque,cheap jerseys usa, who has urged teachers to place emphasis on standards to meet demands for a competent workforce in the Region.According to LaRocque, “Our community needs a workforce that is healthy, competent,china jerseys wholesale, and literate with strong basic skills, and which can adapt to a rapidly changing labour market and technological world.”As a consequence, he stated that there was need for “more than passing assurance” that persons functioning as teachers are certified to teach,nfl jerseys cheap, thoroughly prepared and maintained performance standards.“This assurance can be ascertained through the introduction of a set of measures that will enable the regulation and management of quality within a framework of professional teaching standards and, consequently, improve status of the teaching profession,” Secretary-General LaRocque stated.Teacher career policies and programmes stimulating the profession; the provision of incentives to attract the best prospective candidates; established entry-level professional standards; and certification and licensing in accordance with established professional standards, were among the specific measures he suggested.Consultations for the proposed Professional Standards for the local education system were held in each Region of the country—71 altogether between February and July 2014.The consultations saw attention being given to the teaching standards detailed in a Draft Standards for Teachers in Guyana.Minister of Education Priya Manickchand, during the early stages of the consultations,nfl jerseys cheap authentic, had intimated that the response was heartening, and during an interview with this publication, she said that the document was even attracting overseas attention.“It is very pleasing to me to see persons living abroad giving their input too….” the Minister informed.
