Training ESL and other teachers for true leadership in the profession Public Class

About the Class

Participation in online programs bears the risk of lacking personal connections among participants and participants and instructors. Even more, the creation of any community of practice requires special attention and care. In this presentation, an example will be provided of how it can be possible to create a community of practice in a program fully delivered online. Also, it will be explained what a community of practice is, on what theoretical framework it is built in the presenter’s situation, and why it is important to a professional field. The presentation is further grounded in the context of an ESL teacher trainer program delivered to already practicing teachers seeking additional skills and certification (endorsement). Last, some feedback by program participants is shared to let session attendees hear the voice of real individuals who underwent the training. I hope to see many of you in the session!

Dear Participants of CO12,
