Topik: teacher’s routine; teacher professional development; team teaching Fulltext: TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL EMPOWERMENT THROUGH TEAM TEACHING.pdf (8.1MB) Isi artikel A teacher as a professional needs developing himself to keep pace with the dynamics in the classroom, the need to better the students’ achievement, and the need to meet the changing of the challenge from time to time. The professional development is urgently needed by the teacher to update his knowledge, to improve his teaching skill which in turn to increase the students achievement (Vrasidas and Glass, 2004: 2). There are three variables indicating the impact of the teacher’s professional development e.g. changing on the attitudes and beliefs of teachers, improvement in the classroom practices, and improvement of the learning outcomes of the students (Yoon, et.al, 2007:4, Guskey, 2002 :383).The significance of professional development is also supported by Darling-Hammond & Mc. Laughlin ( 1995 ) in Vrasidas& Glass (2004:3) by stating that innovative professional development for teachers will involve opportunities for teacher to share their expertise, learn from peers, and collaborate on real-world projects. Regardless the double function of teachers in teaching and school administration which most of the teachers are delegated to perform in task force of school administration, teachers should perform three kinds of jobs. They are designing the instruction, planning, organizing, and evaluating the classroom practices, and motivating, counselling, and mentoring the students to solve their personal problem that interfere the learning process. Under the mandatory 24 class hours a week, the teacher’s jobs are really abundant. There seems no time for teachers to have activities outside the daily routine. Moreover, most of the teachers are female which have house hold jobs at home. It means that leaving the school to go home means moving from one battle field to another. Teachers have no opportunity to empower themselves through professional development program outside the school. In this seminar, the writer would like to share her experience in conducting teachers’ professional development among her abundant jobs in her school. How does team teaching handle instructional design and classroom practices to pursue better result? Not only conducting the mandatory jobs but the teachers also conduct their professional development because in their team teaching,opportunities are open for teachers to share their expertise, learn from peers, and collaborate on real-world projects.
