Keynote Speech

Teachers on the move
Jaap van Lakerveld

Abstract
In this presentation an overview will be given of the  various ways in which teachers are on the move.

Moving in and out of the profession
The keynote will include facts and reflections on how teachers move in and out the teaching profession; how others, than teachers enter the profession, how people join the teaching profession in various stages of their careers.

Moving geographically
Geo-political, economical and other causes urge people to move to places to search for a safe and viable future. This applies to student and teachers. People are on the move and so will be their educators

Moving into new modes of educating
An other way in which the teaching profession moves is away from traditional teaching towards constructive and interactive learning and knowledge development arrangements in which teachers and learners, as well as parents and other individuals and organizations contribute.

Invading into other disciplines and lowing others to do the reverse
Furthermore the presentation touches upon how the profession itself moves in various directions. It moves into technology and digital development. Electronic learning environments, tools and equipment make the profession move. The outside world invades into schools and vice versa.

Moving towards interprofessional development and learning
Teachers increasingly will be surrounded by their own professional electronic learning environments and become their own, and each others co-coaches or learning facilitators.

An attempt will be made to sketch perspectives, and strategies for the future.

Keynote Speech

Teaching quality and teacher development: Moving back and forth between local needs and global trends

Brad Olsen, The Brookings Institution, Washington DC, USA

Teacher quality is always contested, context-dependent, and tied to the values and politics of a location. Furthermore, good teaching will always include both the personal and professional. It is one of those professions, like the ministry or psychotherapy, that necessarily invokes the ‘personness’ of the specialist while also relying on the professional expertise employed. And, finally, because teacher improvement efforts can be a concrete mechanism for social change, teacher quality is also a policy site of power. Considering all these complexities, Dr. Olsen’s address will (1) unpack the concept of teaching quality and illuminate its meaning in a few different national locations, (2) investigate tensions between local needs and global trends for teacher development, and (3) offer a blueprint for how to think about teacher professional development as a lever for education systems change in whole locations.

Keynote Speech

“Moving into teaching”: Mentoring as a balancing act to support novice teachers entering the field

This keynote will explore the theme of "Teacher Education on the Move" by revisiting the concept of mentoring as a delicate balancing act that encompasses the careful navigation of dynamics when newcomers enter communities of practice. In doing so, we will examine the role of novice teachers and their mentors as adult learners who may also act as change agents in their organizations. Collaboration will be highlighted as a powerful tool for creating synergies and promoting innovation. Furthermore, we will reflect on the use of online environments to provide support for mediating among mentees, mentors, and their communities. Ultimately, we will argue that by embracing the concepts of adult learning and collaboration, and leveraging online environments, we can create supportive and dynamic teacher communities that foster personal and professional growth.
