Higher Diploma Programme

for
Teacher Educators
1. Self introduction

2. Write your expectation from this course

3. Ground Rule
Aims
• The aim of the Higher Diploma
Programme for teacher educators is to
improve the quality of education in
Ethiopia through a licensing
programme that will develop the skills
and professionalism of teacher
educators.
• The Higher Diploma Programme (HDP)
was developed as a result of the study into
the quality and effectiveness of teacher
education in Ethiopia, (Livingstone et al,
2000), which identified the needs of
teacher educators in Ethiopia. The HDP
started in all 21 teacher education
institutions in October 2003 (1996 EC), as
a new compulsory qualification for all
teacher educators.
 I The Objectives of the Higher Diploma Programme

The programme will enable teacher educators to:

• support the implementation of the GTP
• identify their own needs and become a
professional, reflective teacher educator
demonstrating high standards of
professional ethics
• develop teaching as a skill, based on
sound theoretical knowledge and
experience
 Objectives Cont’d
• be role model good practice and contribute
to institutional and community
development
• provide a high quality learning experience
for student teachers
• be involved in action research,
collaborative learning and team work
• address gender issues and social
inclusion
 Delivery of the Higher Diploma Programme

• The objectives will be achieved through

the delivery of four modules; using student
centred learning and continuous
assessment.
• Module 1 The Reflective Teacher Educator (30 hrs) 
• Module 2 Managing Learning (60 hrs) 
• Module 3 Action Research (30 hrs)
• Module 4 School/Organisation Placement (12 hrs)
 
• Candidates are expected to complete 60
hours of independent study which can
include additional reading, research and
professional conversations
 Higher Diploma candidates will:

• Commit themselves fully to the Programme

• Attend all taught sessions on time
• Participate actively in group work
• Complete lesson plans and evaluations, the
reflective activities and other activities during
taught sessions
• Cooperate with the HDL and HDTs to ensure the
smooth running of the HDP
 Higher Diploma candidates will:

• Prepare materials ready for the taught

sessions as required
• Complete and hand in all the assignments
on time
• Complete the module assessment and self
assessment at the end of each module
• Complete the portfolio for the final
assessment on time.
Assessment in the Higher Diploma Programme

• Assessment for the Higher Diploma is consistent with the

aims and objectives of the programme and is criterion
based for learning. It shows what candidates can do and
need to develop to meet their own objectives, identified
in their Continuing Professional Development plan, and
the overall objectives of the HDP.
• Continuous assessment and self assessment are the
key methods used. This provides teacher educators with
a model of assessment that will help them implement
successfully the new teaching and learning methods
they will acquire.
• Teacher educators will either complete the HDP
successfully, in which case they will pass; or
they will be referred (should they fail to carry
out the roles and responsibilities – see
above) in which case they will have to repeat
those sections of the HDP they have not
completed successfully in order to pass. One of
the reasons for referral would be if unexplained
or unacceptable attendance were to fall below
80%.
 Moderation
• There will be regional moderation across
CTE/University of the Portfolios of all
candidates to ensure standardisation and
quality assurance.
 Award of the Higher Diploma for Teacher
Educators

• Successful completion of the HDP will be

based on evidence provided in the
Portfolio. The Portfolio will be developed
by candidates during the programme,
supported by the HDL. The final Portfolio
of Evidence for moderation should include:
•  10 reflective activities showing
development of reflective thinking and its
effect on practice
 Award Cont’d
• 8 lesson plans (excluding Projects and the
School Placement) showing development
of active learning and assessment
techniques
• Records of 4 formal lesson observations of
the candidate by the HDL or HDT
 Award Cont’d
• Managing Learning Project
• School/Organisation Placement Report
• Action Research Project
• Continuing Professional Development
Plans
• All End of Module Self Assessments and
the Final Self Assessment
 Support for the HDP Candidates

• Workshops are planned for sharing experience and moderation of

work
• Moderation and support visits will be carried out throughout the
year.
• In addition, within each CTE/University support will be provided
through:
• The HDP Handbook
• The Higher Diploma group members, who will function as a mutually
supportive team
• Continuous self assessment and CPD
• Regular professional interviews between HDLs, HDTs and
candidates at least once each semester
• Regular observation of candidates’ teaching by the HDL or HDT with
one to one feedback at least twice each semester
 Characteristics of the programme

•  The HDP is standardized across all institutions and has

the flexibility to be related to the school cycle, subject
specialism and particular interest of the candidates. It is
based on practice, both in the CTEs, Universities and in
schools. The focus is on the learning process and relates
directly to teaching methodology and the requirements of
the pre-service programme and the practicum.
•  
• The Higher Diploma candidates work as a group,
supported by Higher Diploma Leaders and Tutors.
 Assessment for Learning

Candidates are expected to use continuous/formative

assessment in their teaching, giving frequent feedback to
students enabling them to set further targets to improve
learning. This enables teachers to:
• design and use assessment as a tool for learning and
progression
• assesses work in a fair and equitable manner
• enables learner to take ownership of and involvement in
the assessment process
• enables monitoring of the learning process
• uses feedback as a tool for progression
• adheres to working within the systems and quality
requirements of the institution
• An outcome of self assessment is professional
development. Just as we need to produce a plan
to improve professional performance so we need
to promote professional development as a
continuous and life-long process.
•  
• Continuous Assessment and assessment for
learning is a key feature of the Higher Diploma
as it is a vital part of teaching and learning.
 School Placement Module(See module 4a)

• Teacher educators on the Higher Diploma Programme

are required to spend one week or the equivalent in a
first cycle, second cycle, or secondary school according
to the level for which the teacher is preparing students.
The objectives for this placement are to investigate and
reflect on the organisation and management of a local
school and to understand the challenges that teachers
face. As part of the placement HDP candidates teach
and evaluate two lessons. To help with CPD, school
teachers are encouraged to observe the candidates
lessons and share in the evaluation.
Organisation Placement Module(see module 4b)

• Candidates on this module are required to

spend one week in a local organisation which
relates to their subject knowledge and
experience. The objectives for this placement
are to carry out a training needs analysis; to
organise, deliver and evaluate a training and
development workshop to meet the needs of the
employees in the organisation. Candidates are
encouraged to develop a link between their
university and the organisation.
 Candidates have to complete two research
projects:

• Managing Learning Project (6 sessions

showing a variety of tasks to enhance
understanding )
• Action Research Project (classroom
research) action taken to solve a problem
they encounter in their own teaching
• The work is based on their own teaching
and reflection on their classroom practice.
 Principles underlying the HDP
• The development of Reflective Practitioners is a priority
of the HDP.
• Being professional
• Reflective teaching implies concern with the aims,
objectives and outcomes along with technical efficiency
• It is a cyclical process through which teachers monitor,
evaluate and revise their practice.
• It requires open-mindedness and accountability
• It requires competence in methods of evidence-based
classroom enquiry to develop and support higher
standards of teaching
• It encourages collaboration and dialogue
 Session Observations

• All candidates are observed formally on at

least four occasions with written feedback
and discussion. Additional short informal
observations for specific purposes may
also be arranged. The programme is
flexible enough to allow team teaching,
micro teaching and peer observation.
 Professional Interviews

•  
• There will be a minimum of two
professional interviews with each
candidate during the course.
 Action Research

•  Action Research is concerned with changing practice in

the classroom. It helps the reflective teacher-educator to
deal with real challenges found in their own classrooms
and therefore controls the development of their own
teaching practise. It provides professional challenge at
all levels and has had a real impact on learning and
teaching in CTE/Universities. Some excellent Action
Research Projects have explored, suggested and
implemented solutions to problems within their
institutions leading to more effective teaching and
learning
CPD Plan and End of Module Self Assessment

• The HDP is the beginning of continuing professional

development (CPD) plan for teacher educators. All
candidates write their own CPD plan to be developed as
they continue their career. Professional Development
also offers personal fulfilment both from processes of
enquiry, training and study and from the pleasures of
accomplishment. This is particularly true if it is
undertaken with like-minded colleagues who give mutual
support, encouragement and challenge. The result is
higher levels of understanding, deeper insights, with
additional skills and knowledge.

 Learning as Reflection

Activity
• What do mean by learning as reflection?
 Learning as Reflection

• Reflection as an aspect of learning

enhances professional and personal
development and helps teacher educators
and all teachers to be more effective.
• Teaching is a complex activity, requiring
professional decisions in situations where
there are no ‘right’ answers.
Learning as Reflection Cont’d

• At one extreme, there are teachers who

only follow set routines, based on tradition,
habit, institutional norms and expectations.
They tend to be rigid and unresponsive,
although they may be reasonably effective
in covering the syllabus and preparing
students for examinations.
Learning as Reflection Cont’d

• Dewey (1933) referred to such action as

‘routine action’ as distinct from ‘reflective
action’ when reflective teachers engage in
continuous evaluation of what they do; this
enables them to be flexible, analytical, and
socially aware.
Learning as Reflection Cont’d

• In the HDP you are experiencing yourself

as a learner and through reflection on your
own practice you will be encouraged to
guard against being ‘stuck’ in your
traditional ways of doing things.Reflective
teachers\reflection and learning.ppt
• Fill in the questionnaire on page
14. Tick the column which is most
appropriate
 Why are you being asked these questions?

• It should be apparent that the more ticks you have in the

first column, the more reflective you are.

• We want to encourage teachers, as reflective

practitioners, to think about what they do well,
reflect on what they can share with colleagues as
well as identifying their own learning needs
•  
 Definition of reflective practice

• Reflective practice’ is a term often used in education

pedagogy. It is a continuous process from a personal
perspective that considers critical incidents within your
life’s experiences.

Reflective practice involves thoughtfully considering

one’s own experiences in applying theory to practice. In
teacher education it refers to the process of trainees
studying their known teaching methods and determining
what works best for the students. All lecturers need to
reflect on their experiences in the classroom and adapt
their strategies accordingly. (Duckworth et al 2010: p 41)
key characteristics of reflective practice

• Pollard et al (2008, pp14/15) identify ‘seven key

characteristics of reflective practice’:
• Reflective teaching implies an active concern with aim
and consequences, as well as means and technical
efficiency.
• Reflective teaching is applied in a cyclical or a spiralling
process, in which teachers monitor, evaluate and revise
their own practice continuously.
• Reflective teaching requires competence in methods of
evidence based classroom enquiry, to support the
progressive development of higher standards of
teaching.
 key characteristics Cont’d
• Reflective teaching requires attitudes of open
mindedness, responsibility and wholeheartedness.
• Reflective teaching is based on teacher judgement,
informed by evidence-based enquiry and insights from
other research.
• Reflective teaching, professional learning and personal
fulfilment are enhanced through collaboration and
dialogue with colleagues.
• Reflective teaching enables teachers to creatively
mediate externally developed frameworks for teaching
and learning.
•
 
 Characteristics of Reflective Practitioners

Reflective practitioners:
• Are intellectually curious about their work.
• Actively reflect on their experience.
• Develop experience-based theories of change
• Test these theories in practice.
• Use their understanding and initiative to contribute to
knowledge development.
• Understand their strengths and limitations, and work on
these.
• Use a range of tools, methods, and approaches for
individual and collaborative learning.
 Reflection
• How are you going to become more
reflective in your practice?

 Benefits of Taking Time for Reflection

Enables individuals to think more

deeply and holistically about an issue,
leading to greater insights and learning.

Connects the rational decision-

making process to a more effective
and experiential learning process.

Challenges individuals to be honest

about the relationship between what
they say and what they do.

Creates opportunities to seriously

consider the implications of any
past or future action.

Acts as a safeguard against

making impulsive decisions

 2.3 Teacher as a Role Model

Objectives
 Candidates will be able to:
• demonstrate that they understand the
concept of role modelling
• state ways in which the teacher can
improve the performance of students
through effective role modelling
Activity
• Complete the following chart individually on a significant
role model of your choice, e.g. grade 12 maths teacher

My significant role Model __________________

Characteristics Behaviour
Now consider the characteristics and behaviour which
influences his or her students.

Characteristics Behaviour
 Case studies
• Read the given case studies in pair and
complete the activities following case
studies.
• A role model is a person whose behavior
is imitated by others. Of course, there are
both good role models and bad role
models. While there is some variation in
every teacher’s definition of what it means
to be a good person.
 Role model
• The term “role-model” has been introduced by the
sociologist Robert
• Merton who emphasized that a person has a status set
in the social setting in
• which he/she is “rather than assuming one status
and one role”
• (Calhoun, 2010; Merton, 1968). In the context of higher
education, a role model is often associated with the
influence of a teaching context ,
• pedagogical education and past experiences as a
student on teaching behaviour and attitudes
• A general classification of the characteristics of a
role model involves three main components,
namely
• 1) Competence, intended as the technical
knowledge and skills of the teacher,
• 2) Teaching skills, intended as teacher’s
capabilities to communicate knowledge, and
• 3) Personal qualities, i.e., attributes promoting
ethical honesty, integrity, enthusiasm, etc.
 Qualities of positive role models

 Passion and ability to inspire

 Clear set of values
 Commitment to community
 Selflessness and acceptance of others
 Ability to overcome obstacles

How to maximise learning through role modelling
1. Attention: Drawn attention to the behaviour or skill being
modelled by:
I. Physically emphasising it
II. Asking them relevant questions
III. Providing an enthusiastic narrative
IV. Subdividing and explaining specific aspects of a complex
skill.
2. Retention: This may be enhanced by adoption of the
following strategies:
I. Repetition of a skill or relaying of an important fact
II. Symbolic representation to create visual memoryCone.docx
III. Drawing appropriate parallels or realistic exemplification of
possible harmful effects (e.g. giving telling examples)
IV. Relating new to existing knowledge
How to maximise learning through role modelling

 3. Production: Provide experience with appropriate

autonomy  
4. Motivation:
I. Awareness of motivators for learners including
personal rewards such as enjoyment, enthusiasm
and dedication, financial gains or social status,
professional autonomy or influence.
II. Increasing frequency and magnitude of observed
rewards & concurrence with the trainee’s own
aspirations increases the effect.
 2.5 Gender in Action

Objectives
Candidates will be able to:
– demonstrate a greater awareness of issues
related to gender equality in Ethiopia
– plan a course of action to promote gender
equality in your institutions and the wider
community
 overview
• Integrating gender issues across all
levels of education system is one of the
means of addressing educational
equity. Accordingly the global goal for
gender equality under ESDP IV will be
to promote equal access and success
in education and training for women
and girls (ESDP IV, p.73)

• Number of female students in the institution
• Number of male students in the institution
• Does your institution have a gender policy?
 Decision Line (10 minutes)
• Girls are not as clever as boys
• There’s no point in educating women as they are
needed in the home
• It is too difficult to get girls to go to school in the
rural areas because they need to carry the water
and the wood
• Too many girls drop out of education so it is a
waste to try and get them to school
 Decision Line Cont’d
• It is not necessary for girls to have formal
education beyond primary school
• Girls are more intelligent than boys
• Girls work harder at school than boys
• Men make stronger leaders than women
• Men make better primary school teachers
than women

• Gender Equality
• Gender Equity
 What is sex? What is gender?
• Although the terms “sex” and “gender” are often
used interchangeably, sociologists differentiate
between the two.
• Sex refers to an individual’s membership in one of
two biologically distinct categories—male or female.
• Gender refers to the physical, behavioral, and
personality traits that a group considers normal for
its male and female members.

Introduction to Sociology: Sex and

Gender 72

opportunities for men and women

Gender equity denotes the equivalence in life

outcomes for men and women, recognising
their different needs and interests and requiring
a redistribution of power and resources.

 2.6 Social Inclusion

Objectives
Candidates will:
– Recognise that an education system should
be inclusive
– Agree definitions for terminology
– Accept that students have different learning
needs
– Identify the barriers to learning that students
encounter
– Devise strategies to support learning
 Social Inclusion Overview
• The Ministry has designed a strategy for
Special Needs Education, the final goal of
which is to ensure access and quality
education for marginalized children and
students with special educational needs.
(ESDP IV, p.77)
 Social Inclusion cont’d
• All children and students can learn and many of
them need some form of support. Providing
education for all requires identifying barriers that
hinder learning and reducing or removing these
barriers in early education, schools technical
and vocational colleges, higher education,
teacher education and education management.
(Special Needs Education Program Strategy,
MoE 2006, Addis Ababa)
 Profile of your Institution (10 minutes)

learning difficulties, e.g. dyslexia?
Profile of your Institution Cont’d
• Are there students in your
college/university who are economically
disadvantaged?
• Are there students in your
college/university who are from

• Physical/ psychological disadvantage
• Special needs education
• Is access to education only for the
advantaged?
 
 Definitions of terms
• Inclusive education – adapting the education
system to meet the needs of all students
• Social/Environmental disadvantage –
students who are disadvantaged as a result of
family circumstances or as a result of their
environment causing harm or not support their
well being, e.g. poverty, poor diet, poor housing,
prone to illness, physically beaten, refugees
 Definitions of terms cnt’d
• Physical disadvantage – students who
are disadvantaged because of e.g. hearing
impairment, sight impairment, mobility
difficulties, epilepsy*, dyspraxia, illness,
HIV/AIDS
• Psychological disadvantage – students
who are disadvantaged because of
specific learning difficulties, e.g. autism,
Aspergers syndrome, dyscalculia
 Definitions of terms cnt’d
• Special Needs Education – an education
system which enables students with
special educational needs to reach their
full potential and be included fully in their
school/college/university community
 Group Activity (40 minutes)

 Read the following scenarios identify

possible barriers to learning and suggest
possible strategies for support by the
institution or teacher (Page 24)
 Points to remember
• Some disadvantaged people face different levels of
discrimination and exclusion – in particular women or
girls with physical disadvantage (or disabilities) may face
double discrimination.

• All students are different and difference is normal and

valuable which is why it is important to address
differentiation in meeting the needs of all learners in a
group and for teachers to be flexible and be prepared to
adapt to the learning needs of all learners.
 Cont’d
• Attitude is most important. Show interest in the student
• Be positive – do not focus on what the student can not
do but focus on what s/he can do. Each student has their
own gifts and talents. It is a teacher’s job to nurture
those talents.
• Create a positive learning atmosphere. Do not create a
fear of failure and low self esteem
• Encourage a trusting relationship between students and
develop a collaborative approach to learning
•  
 
A UNESCO definition of inclusive education, 2001

“Inclusive education starts from the belief that the right to

education is a basic human right and the foundation for a
more just society.
 
Inclusive education takes the Education for All (EFA)
agenda forward by finding ways of enabling schools to
serve all children in their communities….
 
Inclusive education is concerned with all learners, with a
focus on those who have traditionally been excluded from
educational opportunities – such as learners with special
needs and disabilities, children from ethnic and linguistic
minorities”.
 
 WHAT IS INCLUSIVE EDUCATION ?

Inclusion in education is an approach to educating

students with special educational needs. Under the
inclusion model, students with special needs spend
most or all of their time with non-disabled students.
Implementation of these practices may vary.
Schools most frequently use them for selected
students with mild to severe special needs.
Fully inclusive schools, which are rare, no longer
distinguish between "general education" and
"special education" programs; instead, the school is
restructured so that all students learn together.

 Activity(10 minutes)
1. What is session planning ?
2. What are the importance of session
planning?
3. What are components of session plan?
 Session Planning (P 32)

• Session planning is essential if the

learning experience is going to be
meaningful for the learners.
• session planning is a process of the
teacher using appropriate curricula,
session strategies, and resources during
the planning process to address the
diverse needs of students.
• A teacher’s teaching begins before he/she
steps into the classroom and starts talking.
 Importance of Planning
1. To give an overview of the instruction
2. To facilitate good management of instruction
3. To make learning purposeful
4. To provide sequencing and pacing
5. To economize time
6. To provide for a variety of session activities
7. To make learner’s success more
measurable which assists in re-teaching
 common mistakes in LPs

1. Poorly written objectives lead to faulty

inferences.
2. The lesson assessment is not connected with
the behavior indicated in the objective.
3. Prerequisites are not specified or are
inconsistent with the lesson requirements.
4. The materials specified in the lesson are
irrelevant to those described learning
activities.
5. Teacher’s instructions are inefficient
6. Students activities do not contribute effectively
to the lesson objective
 Components of session plan
Answering the following question can address the
components
1. Whom to teach?
2. Why to teach?
3. What to teach?
4. How to teach?
5. With what to teach?
6. When to teach?
7. Where to teach?
8. How to check the achievement of the
instruction?
 Setting Objectives 10’
• The need for objectives for each session
• The idea of smart objectives
Activity
Do you usually set learning objective for
each of your sessions? Yes or No
If yes how? Give example having a topic
from your areas of teaching.
If no why you fail to do so?
 Objectives
• A learning objective is a statement of the
measurable learning that is intended to take
place as a result of instruction.
• Complete objectives …
– State what the student will be able to do.
(observable behavior)
– With the conditions under which they should be
able to demonstrate (condition)
– Under the expected degree of proficiency
(criterion)
Example of learning Objectives
• Without notes or references, the
students should be able to list in order
the steps in troubleshooting a BASIC
computer program with no mistakes.

• Given the values of two of the three

variables in Ohm’s law, the students
should be able to calculate the value of
the remaining variable 90% of the time.
 Advantages to Writing Objectives
Three Major Advantages to Writing Objectives :
• Provides basis for selection and design of
instructional content, methods, and
materials
• Provides learner with means to organize
efforts toward accomplishing objectives
• Allows for determination as to the extent
that objectives have been accomplished

 Types (domains) of learning objectives
• Cognitive objectives
– Describe the knowledge that
learners are to acquire
• Affective objectives
– Describe the attitudes, feelings, and
dispositions that learners are expected to
develop
• Psychomotor objectives
– Relate to the manipulative and motor
skills that learners are to master

• Be in groups of 4 or 5 to complete the
activity p33 to say whether the objectives
are smart or not.
 Session Evaluation
Guidance for writing session evaluations
Session evaluation involves two points which are
1. Reflections on the session and
2. Reflection on assessment
1. Reflections on the session:
 Think about:
• Whether the objectives were achieved
• What evidence you have for objectives being achieved
• The balance between teacher activity and student activity
• Which activity was most successful and why
• The timing/pace of the session
• Student response to the session
• Whether the needs of all the students were met and whether special
needs were catered for
 2.Reflections on assessment:

• Were your assessment methods effective?

• How will you use the results of the
assessment in the next session?
• What work was set for the students to do?
• Are you aware of who made progress
beyond expectation or need extra
support?
• Does anything need to be recorded?
 Activity
Formats of session plan (30’)
Based on the sample session plan format be
in group of five and prepare session plan
for 50’.
 10’
Swap session plans with another group
members and critique each others plans
and discuss.
 Session planning Day 2
Reminder
• You have to complete session plans and
evaluations throughout the HDP course.
• These should show how you are
developing a range of active learning and
continuous assessment methods. At least
8 of these will be used as evidence of
progress in the Portfolio.
 Assignment
• For next session when you meet each of
you should bring the plans of a session
you delivered during the previous week
together with the session evaluations you
have written using the guidance on the
sample session plan.

 Definition of active learning

-Active learning is generally defined as any

instructional method that engages students in the
learning process” (MICHAEL PRINCE,2004,p:1)

-Active learning requires students to do meaningful

learning activities and think about what they are
doing .(Bonwell, C.C., and J. A. Eison,1991as
reported by MICHAEL PRINCE,2004,p:1)
 Definition of active learning Cont’d

• "Active Learning" is, in short, anything that students

do in a classroom other than merely passively
listening to an instructor's lecture. This includes
everything from listening practices which help the
students to absorb what they hear, to short writing
exercises in which students react to lecture material,
to complex group exercises in which students apply
course material to "real life" situations and/or to new
problems” Donald R. Paulson and Jennifer L. Faust
(Active Learning for The College Classroom )
 Definition of active learning Cont’d

• Active learning refers to techniques where

students do more than simply listen to a lecture.
Students are DOING something including discovering,
processing, and applying information.

Active learning "derives from two basic assumptions:

(1) that learning is by nature an active endeavor and
(2) that different people learn in different ways" (Meyers

and Jones, 1993)
