First, pre-job training
The quality of normal students is the premise of training teachers, which directly affects the quality of teacher training. In order to select high-quality teachers, according to the National Standards for Teacher Education newly promulgated on 20 12, the pre-service teacher education in Britain has improved the selection criteria for training teachers from three aspects.
Improve the requirements for the academic performance of normal candidates. From September 20 12, only learners who have obtained the second-level and above degree certificates can enter teacher education, and students with the third-level and below degree levels cannot enter teacher education.
Requirements for improving English and math skills. Learners who apply for pre-service teacher education should take basic English and mathematics tests, and those with high test scores can enter the teacher education major.
Second, the induction training
The specific links of induction training include two aspects: one is the supervision and support for new teachers, and the other is the performance evaluation of induction training for new teachers.
The induction training system for new teachers in Britain is oriented to promote teachers' development, pays attention to the professional development of new teachers, attaches importance to cultivating their reflective ability, and constructs a teacher professional development system that connects pre-service teacher education, induction training for new teachers and on-the-job training for teachers.
In the process of implementation, the system embodies strong individual pertinence, and strict quality assurance system is another important feature of the system. In addition, the new teacher induction training system in Britain emphasizes the close cooperation between the institutions and personnel involved in the training. At the same time, the system also has the characteristics of strong operability.
Three. On-the-job teacher training:
Since 1970s, Britain has published a series of reports and development plans on in-service education and training for teachers. James Report (1972) calls for the development of teachers' in-service education and training, which is considered as the quickest, most powerful and most economical way to improve the quality of education.
A way of education in which teachers study without leaving their jobs. On-the-job education of British teachers includes three basic contents: political theory, cultural and scientific knowledge and education professional training, aiming at cultivating qualified people's teachers with both ability and political integrity and improving the quality of education and teaching.
