    Study Notes

    Balancing the Three Ps in Teacher Training

    • The three Ps—Personal, Professional, and Practical—are fundamental to effective teacher training. They are not complex mathematical formulas, but rather a framework.

    Practical Element

    • Teaching is hands-on. Trainers help teachers improve real-time decision-making, address varied student needs, and maintain classroom control.
    • Effective teaching involves more than techniques and strategies. Expecting instant transformation is unrealistic.

    Personal Element

    • Teachers bring unique experiences, prior knowledge, beliefs, and habits to the classroom.
    • Trainers engage with these experiences, emotions, and beliefs.
    • Trainers help teachers examine their own teaching philosophies, recognizing the influence of past teachers.

    Professional Element

    • Teaching is grounded in research, theories, and best practices.
    • Trainers introduce teachers to professional discourse, validating or challenging their beliefs.
    • Bridging the gap between personal beliefs and professional knowledge is essential. This often involves equipping teachers with the language to discuss teaching.

    Balancing the Three Ps

    • Trainers create a space for reflecting on teaching experiences.
    • They integrate research and theory into practical classroom applications.
    • Teachers are supported to apply new strategies in training environments, then move forward to their real classrooms.
    • Continuous professional growth is fostered.

    Teacher Development

    • Change takes time; teacher training is a continuous process.
    • The process is like learning to cook, starting with recipes and progressing to creating individual dishes.
    • Trainers need to guide teachers toward a strong foundation (knowledge), practical skills (knowing how), and informed decision-making (knowing to).

    Trainer Approach

    • Trainers should consider how they balance the three elements: Practical, Personal, and Professional.
    • It is crucial to integrate all aspects for meaningful teacher development.
    • Ultimately, trainers inspire, challenge, and empower teachers. Growth occurs over time with balance, reflection, and practice.
