Teacher Training for Inclusive Education: Competency Building
Teacher Training for Inclusive Education
1. Teacher Training Focus: Building competencies for educators.
2. Diagnostic Assessment: Utilizing consistent assessments to identify learning gaps, including low educational attainment and students with learning difficulties.
3. Project Description: This project begins with interviews of teachers working with NB1 to gather insights for assessing project aspects. The goal is to deliver effective strategies by the end of the first semester. Professional educators in differential education will transfer knowledge to support the teaching-learning process, creating new strategies for students with special educational needs. This multidisciplinary approach aims to improve performance, analysis, commitment, and teacher training.
4. Project Foundation: Differentiated assessment is applied individually to students with learning deficits, focusing on their strengths and achievements. Chile’s education policies aim to support teachers in effectively teaching all students. While progress has been made in treating teachers as professionals, the Ministry recognizes the need for specific support to develop skills for teaching diverse learners. According to the OECD, competencies are “an underlying characteristic of an individual that is causally related to effective or superior performance.” A competent individual combines knowledge, skills, dispositions, and behaviors to perform successfully.
