Teacher training by Alecia Rubino
Alecia Rubino, English Language Fellow of the US Embassy was appointed to this position in September 2008 and started co-operating with AzETA in October 2008. She organised 2 types of training for AzETA members on Saturdays. One of the training courses was for the mentors, the other was for the new members of AzETA. Starting from October 2009 the participants of the mentor teachers' course are training their peers.
Teacher training by AzETA members
1. Starting from October 2008 AzETA is offering 40 hour training package to its members. The trainers are the trainees of the Newly Qualified Teacher Training Project funded by the British Council in 2006-2008. As the Project was handed over to AzETA in June 2008, AzETA made it its strategy to train its members with the help of the NQT Project trainees. As such, it was a 3 months training organised every Saturday in the school year of 2008-2009. Each Saturday the participants had a 3 hour session and were trained on different topics pursuant to the Starter Pack developed for the purposes of the NQT Project. The members were very happy for the opportunity.
AzETA has approached the Ministry of Education for financial support to continue NQT Project in 8 regions of Azerbaijan to sustain the project and cascade it throughout Azerbaijan.
2. In July 2009 17 AzETA members attended teacher training in the UK offered by Pilgrims Ltd. Starting from 1 October 2009 these trainees give a workshop in AzETA Baku office every Saturday to share the knowledge gianed during the training with their peers.
3. Matthew Miller is an English Language Fellow brought to Azerbaijan by the US Embassy. Although his host institution is Azerbaijan Teachers' Institute, he offered training sessions to AzETA during the 2009-2010 school year. As such he will have a series of open sessions in AzETA Baku office every third Saturday of the month starting from 17 October 2009. The dates for his sessions for 2009 are as below:
17 October
21 November
19 December
