What Today’S Teachers Require To Know

by Andreas Schleicher
Director, Directorate for Education together with Skills


I’ve oftentimes said that the character of an instruction organisation cannot top the character of its teachers. How, then, practise teachers travel out actually goodness at their jobs? One of import means is past times learning from 1 simply about other – across classes, across schools, together with yes, fifty-fifty across countries. That’s why the OECD is a cognition partner of the 2017 Qudwa Global Teachers’ Forum, which is existence held inwards Abu Dhabi on seven together with 8 October. The Forum is bringing together to a greater extent than than 900 teachers from 83 countries to beak over “Teaching for Tomorrow”.

The focus of the forum couldn’t endure to a greater extent than timely. According to reports past times the World Economic Forum, one-third of the skillsets required to perform today’s jobs volition endure alone redundant past times 2020. And experts assert that nearly two-thirds of children entering original schoolhouse today volition halt upward working inwards jobs that practise non notwithstanding exist. The dilemma for teachers is that the kinds of things that are easiest to learn together with easiest to test, are just the things that are also tardily to digitise, automate together with outsource. If nosotros desire to educate students for their future, rather than for our past, nosotros postulate to meliorate empathize the hereafter together with what it implies for teaching today.

“Qudwa” is the Standard Arabic tidings for “role model”. Teachers are purpose models for their students, together with they tin hand notice also endure leaders inwards their communities. They postulate to larn how best to ready children for living together with working inwards this new, highly digitised Blue Planet so that tomorrow’s communities are cohesive together with productive. We know so much to a greater extent than almost what makes for effective teaching; together with nosotros at 1 time choose the tools to amplify together with percentage this cognition so that nosotros tin hand notice prepare a global network of modify leaders.

Participants at the forum volition endure sharing information together with exchanging their views almost the most effective teaching strategies, using technology inwards the classroom, making schools to a greater extent than inclusive, together with engaging with parents, alongside many other topics. Most of the discussions volition endure based on information collected past times the OECD: a rigid foundation on which a high-quality teaching strength – together with hence high-quality instruction systems – tin hand notice endure built. Like all of us, teachers postulate inspiration to perform at their best; I’m surely they volition abide by lots of it inwards Abu Dhabi this weekend.
