Teacher education refers to the policies and procedures designed to equip teachers with the knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and skills they require to perform their tasks effectively in the school and classroom.

Teacher education is often divided into:

  • initial teacher training / education (a pre-service course before entering the classroom as a fully responsible teacher);
  • induction (the process of providing training and support during the first few years of teaching or the first year in a particular school);
  • teacher development or continuing professional development (CPD) (an in-service process for practicing teachers).

The process of mentoring is also relevant.

There is a longstanding and ongoing debate about the most appropriate term to describe these activities. The term 'teacher training' (which may give the impression that the activity involves training staff to undertake relatively routine tasks) seems to be losing ground to 'teacher education' (with its connotation of preparing staff for a professional role as a reflective practitioner).

How long should one practice in a particular yoga program before deciding to starting a teacher training class
Q. I've been practicing yoga off and on for about 6 years. I'm truly in love with this mind/body/spirit connection. I've since left my job in the hospital in nutrition and decided to begin my massage practice again and would like to implement teaching yoga as well. I feel in yoga every person is in their own journey so I should not judge myself. However I have self doubt and wonder since I'm not able to complete some asanas to the full expression should I not start the teaching training program? I've been wanting to do the program for about 3 years and question is the self doubt is part of the journey? Not sure what to do since I feel a good teacher can achieve most postures in the full expression. I do want to take this practice to… [cont.]

A. I practice yoga and think that yoga teachers are there to guide us through the poses showing how to properly allign ourselves and reminding students of breating techniques, etc. I would say that even though you cannot complete some asanas to the full expression that you shouldn't let that hold you back. You have thought about this for a substantial amount of time. Not everyone has the same flexibility as each other. I think yoga is also about expression for each individual. Everyone will not be able to do each pose the exact same way and with the same flexibility and strenght. I think the more you study the greater opportunity you have to grow in your practice! So, I encourage you to start your lessons to become a yoga teacher if you feel… [cont.]

How to find money to pay for a yoga teacher training certification?
Q. It's not that much money, but $2000 is a lot for a poor girl like myself. Are there any scholarships or funds available that can aid somebody like me to be able to get my 200 hour certification to become a yoga instructor? Or any ideas on how I can fundraise the money?

A. The most important lesson you should know, is that you must network. Networking will increase your chances in the business world more than anything else. That being said, you should have a group of about 100 people that you contact regularly (every quarter), once you have a network this good, it will be easier for you to attain any of your goals. outside the box... set up a blog and write a letter to everyone you know. If they donate 20 bucks from a link on your blog, you will be closer to your goal. You should be able to get 400 - 1000 bucks that way. Yardsale - look at what you dont need and list it on craigslist. Assist your parents, friends or neighbors with a garage sale or craigslist. You take a small percentage of the… [cont.]
