Dear All A few months ago, I sent out an e-mail asking for qualified teachers to share their experiences of training to become a QTS. Thank you for those who have replied. And now you can find out their experiences on the SSAT Chinese website www.schoolsnetwork.org.uk/chinese, under the section of Chinese Professional Development. We also welcome more esp. if you trained through PGCE course. We are now planning to add another section of Being A Mentor on the website. As you will probably agree that one of the issues facing teacher trainers and prospective trainees for Chinese is the lack of experienced placement schools and mentors. If you have been a mentor of a PGCE/GTP student, we would very much like to share your work so to encourage others to develop mentoring skills. If you are interested, please get in touch with me [log in to unmask] I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks and best wishes, Xiaoming Zhu ÖìÏþÜø SSAT National Network Coordinator for Chinese Networks ________________________________________ From: Mandarin Chinese Teaching [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Xiaoming Zhu [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 10:23 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: professional development Dear all Just let you know that there is some updated information on the section of the Chinese Professional Development on the SSAT Chinese network website www.schoolsnetwork.org.uk/chinese It now includes an introduction to the different routes to gain qualified teacher status and PGCE courses available for Mandarin. In the Case Studies part, some qualified teachers share their experiences on how they gained their QTS and their tips. In the mean time please could you send any information you have about courses which you think would be useful for other teachers of Mandarin? Also, please let me know what else you think should be covered in the professional development section. We do hope this section is a real help and support to those who are in the teaching career and those who are seeking to be teachers of Mandarin.
