Leading Transformational Teaching in the New Normal

CALL FOR VIDEO CLIPS
Deadline to Submit the Video Clip: 10 October 2020

 

Background

Since 1994, the world has celebrated World Teachers Day every October 05 to commemorate the signing of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers. For SEAMEO, the World Teachers’ Day is a momentous event to celebrate the critical roles that teachers play in developing the fullest potential of peoples in Southeast Asia. This is one of the reasons why one of the SEAMEO Seven Priority Areas, specifically Priority 04: Revitalising Teacher Education, enshrined the importance of teaching and making it a profession of first choice.

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed greater emphasis on the multiple roles that teachers play in the society, especially those that go beyond the four corners of the classroom. According to the UIS data, the pandemic has directly affected 1.5 billion leaners at all levels and 63 Million primary and secondary teachers.  Despite challenges posed by the sudden shift to technology, teachers faced these major changes head on as Ministries of Education raced to migrate learning from face-to-face to alternative learning. During the SEAMEO Ministerial Policy e-Forum, the Ministers of Education lauded educators “as the critical enablers during the time of education disruptions where they consistently looked for innovations in teaching and ensured the physical, mental and emotional well-being of learners under their care.”
