Teachers Network

ABOUT THE PROJECT

According to interviews conducted with teachers, they feel disturbed by the fact that being a teacher is discredited and by the lack of autonomy, they find in-service trainings and resources provided for their self-improvement insufficient and they feel lonely due to lack of experience sharing opportunities among teachers.

On the other hand, teachers are one of the most influential actors for the quality of education and success and happiness of the students. For this reason, teacher empowerment emerges as a significant need for development of children and society.

With this perspective, Teacher Network aims at teacher empowerment through creating a sustainable learning environment responding their professional and personal needs.

The foundations of Teachers Network were laid in the pilot implementation process that took place between 2016 and 2017. A total number of 47 teachers from 11 different cities, six foundations and stakeholders from different disciplines concerned with increasing the quality of education developed the tools, processes and methods of the Teachers Network. The Network model developed and began to be implemented starting from January 2018.

Network provides creative solution alternatives for teachers’ and other education stakeholders’ needs and lays grounds for teachers to utilize their own areas of interests, know-how and competencies via both physical and digital channels. In order to ensure the sustainability, network structures the physical and digital mediums and brings resources needed in the education field together.
