The Teachers Community

The purpose of our teacher community is to connect and support you - Slovenian teachers, educators, and professors. We aim to create a community where you can exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas to improve the quality of teaching and upbringing. The community is designed to encourage collaboration, networking, and co-creation of a rich learning environment that inspires you in your work and contributes to positive development and growth for all of us.

Učiteljska skupnost v letu 2023/24 povezuje več kot 200 učiteljev. V letu 2024/25 pa skoraj 300 učiteljev.

​Our main objectives within the community include:

1. Support and Connection: We provide you with the opportunity to connect with fellow teachers and exchange ideas and solutions for various challenges you encounter in teaching and upbringing.
   
   

2. Knowledge and Experience Sharing: You have access to exclusive content, blogs, case studies, and materials that will enrich your professional knowledge and help you develop innovative approaches in working with students.
   
   

3. Expert Growth: We offer monthly support calls where you can ask questions, share your best practices, and receive feedback from experienced supervisors. This encourages continuous learning and professional development for teachers.
   
   

4. Creating a Positive Learning Environment: We strive to create a supportive learning environment that inspires you and enables a positive impact on your students and young learners, helping them develop into confident, curious, and successful individuals.
   
   

5. Personal Growth: In our teacher community, we also place special emphasis on your personal growth and development. We believe that personal growth is essential for successful teaching and student leadership. With the help of professional supervisors and mentoring programs, you'll have the opportunity to develop your leadership abilities, improve your communication skills, and recognize and overcome limiting beliefs. This will make you more confident and effective teachers, reflecting in better teaching quality and relationships with students.

By joining our community, you become part of an exceptional network of teachers who together shape the future of education and contribute to the development of a better and higher-quality learning experience for all children and young people. Our community is open to all who believe in the power of collaboration, learning, and growth and want to be part of a positive shift in education. Join us and together, let's build a better tomorrow for all generations!

Participant Feedback 

1. Skupnost, ki povezuje, navdihuje in vrača zaupanje v učiteljski poklic

Učiteljice so poudarile, da so v skupnosti prvič začutile, da niso same. Dobrodošla podpora, sprejetost in deljenje izkušenj so jim dali nov zagon:

»Dobili smo občutek, da smo del skupnosti učiteljev, ki si resnično prizadevajo, da bi učencem ponudili več kot le znanje.«
»Čeprav je pedagoški poklic težak, pa še vedno lahko svoje izkušnje, težave, bremena ... delimo, jih prediskutiramo in smo slišani.«
»Verjamem, da tovrstna strokovna povezovanja pomembno prispevajo h kakovosti vzgojno-izobraževalnega dela in uspehu učencev.«

2. Konkretna orodja in preproste strategije, ki naredijo razliko

Učiteljice so poročale, da so vsebine skupnosti takoj prenesle v prakso:

»Z učenci smo že prvi teden izdelali plakat 'Kako se pozdravimo'.«
»V svoje ure sem vključila merila uspešnosti in učencem omogočila boljšo orientacijo pri učenju.«
»Všeč mi je bilo, da teorijo vedno podprete s primeri. To naredi vsebine res uporabne.«
Poleg tega jih je navdušila ideja o t. i. “breznu učenja”, strategije učinkovitega učenja in spodbude za razmislek učencev o svojem napredku.

3. Več razumevanja in zaupanja v spremembe pri ocenjevanju znanja

Udeleženke srečanja o ocenjevanju so zapisale, da so jim bile razjasnjene številne dileme, pridobile pa so tudi konkreten vpogled v razlike med ocenjevanjem in formativnim spremljanjem:

»Da delno ocenjevanje NI formativno spremljanje.«
»Pomembno je, da ocene ne zaključujemo po povprečju, ampak po doseženih ciljih.«
»Učencem moramo predstaviti merila po ravneh – tako vedo, kaj pomeni dosežek za posamezno oceno.«
»Pomemben je celoten proces – od začetka poglavja do ocenjevanja in načrta za izboljšavo.«

»Dobili smo občutek, da smo del skupnosti učiteljev, ki si resnično prizadevajo, da bi učencem ponudili več kot le znanje.«
»Z vašo podporo sem dobila navdih in orodja za bolj kakovosten pouk.«
