Teacher educators: How to approach teachers’ beliefs about teaching?

This British Council learning module, designed specifically for teacher educators only, looks at managing teacher beliefs during teacher development activities.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new ‘Teacher Belief Special’ for teacher educators on the Teacher Educator Community. This learning module is intended for teacher educators only, i.e. teacher trainers, mentors, education consultants, and teachers who provide teacher development activities to colleagues as part of their job. 

The ‘Teacher Belief Special’ is a module that looks at how beliefs and expectations can create challenges and opportunities for teacher educators delivering teacher development activity. The content  explores the beliefs that participants may bring to teacher training and development activities such as workshops and courses.  

Featuring a range of engaging activities, this ‘Special’ helps teacher educators to:

  • explore why some teachers might not have a positive view of new techniques or approaches that they meet in training
  • see and experience some ideas for encouraging teachers to uncover and question their own beliefs about teaching
