"Out of the box": meaning, innovation and empowerment
At the entrance to teaching and in the continuum of professional development
Achva Academic College and the Division for Internship and Entry into Teaching at the Ministry of Education
Thursday, March 16, 2023, Achva Academic College, Building 7
The annual conference is initiated by the Teaching Entrance Division in cooperation with Achva Academic College, the Unit for Entry and Accompaniment in Teaching, and is being held for the seventh year in a row.
The School of Education at Achva Academic College, in response to the changing reality in the education systems, has made it its mission to promote the ideas of meaning, innovation and empowerment among students and teachers throughout their professional development. All this- aims to create opportunities that can "get out of the box", thereby exposing the students to significant and high-quality learning processes in order to empower them.
As mentioned, we seek to get “out of the box" and take a fresh look at the process of training and entering teaching as a lever for creating meaning, innovation and empowerment. The conference will discuss pedagogical issues, tools and skills regarding the meaning, innovation and empowerment of kindergarten teachers and teachers from the training stage onwards, all with the aim of building and shaping an organizational culture that promotes these aspects. The conference will make it possible to connect development and learning in training, entry into teaching and the continuum of professional development.
The conference will focus on the stage of internship and entry into teaching, but we call on all those involved in these issues throughout all stages of the professional development of the teachers to participate in it. The conference will include anchor lectures, short lectures, round tables, posters and Ted presentations.
