Saudi Arabia,
most early childhood professionals are not qualified; they mostly have bachelor
degrees but not in the early childhood field.
This is due to the culture; most women prefer to work in the morning and
get home early; that is why most women find themselves working in schools. Fortunately, many schools offer workshops and
trainings for new teachers; actually in the school I work in, we are
implementing the common core standards curriculum, and so we are doing a lot of
training.
My colleague
shared her professional goals, which are learning new skills and offering a
high-quality education to her students.
We work together in a private school so she explained that her
professional hopes were that all children, even in public schools, would have
access to high-quality education.
Actually, Saudi Arabia is not her native country so her dream was to go
back home some day and offer a quality education to children.
Thanks Ghana,
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to hear about your colleague and about the educational qualifications in other countries!
Hi Ghayna,
ReplyDeleteI think teachers who want to stay motivated, and in the light of the limited training and resources; individual effort to learn new skills is highly required. I think that the sense of self-achievement is great and always keeps us on the right track.
Hi Ghayna,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to know that your school is offering the common core standards. It is awesome to know that what you are learning you are able to give back to your school and community. It would be awesome for you colleague to go back to her home land and teach and inspire there as well as those around her. Thank you for amazing blogs.
Using common core curriculum standards can help to ensure all students have equal opportunities to achieve academic success.
