Which training courses would you like to have access to as a teacher? Why? Which is, in your opinion, the best way to share good practice amongst teaching professionals? Why?

I think that teachers should always have lifelong learning; this should be a requirement for working in this profession. I think that attending and participating in courses is very important to improve and to adapt our methodologies to the needs of children of the XXI Century.

At this time, I would study many courses of new technologies and their incorporation to the educational world, the use of whiteboards, the improvement of creativity and emotional intelligence, etc, because I believe that, at that moment, I really have to learn about these issues. In addition, I think that there are many interesting courses to learn many things that I have not learned at University. I enjoy studying, and so, I think that, in the future, I will continue studying many courses of all kinds.

With regard to improving as a teacher, I think that a good course could be a learning mobility for the teacher or cooperation between organizations and schools in order to work together, to get to know another kind of learning practices. For instance, if all teacher work together, even if they work in different schools, they could improve educational practices and methodologies for all students to develop their full potential and develop meaningful learning.

In my opinion, the best way to share good practices between teaching professionals is, for example, promoting school exchanges. I mean teachers traveling to other schools to learn new educational practices. Other ways of sharing knowledge it is doing classes of specialization with other teachers about important issues, so it is a good way to share experiences, case studies, methods, etc. Working groups are also very important because teachers develop their research projects and educational innovation. In these groups teachers develop new initiatives and they implement projects based on educational theory.

In conclusion, I believe that it is very important for teachers to learn new practices to improve schools. Although realizing courses and lifelong learning is very important, the most important matter is the willingness of teachers to change their practices in order to get to improve among all schools and this society. Teachers have to find solutions to the new challenges that arise and be humble to evaluate their teaching and be able to change what does not work.
