BT Rio Chapter Podcast

In this episode we talk with school owner and academic coordinator Andre Tavares from Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro and we discuss the role of the coordinator in teacher development. Andre Tavares can be found on Facebook as Andre Tavares de Souza and on Instagram as @andretavares_oficial. Here are the questions we tackled: Q1 - What role did the coordinators you worked with as a teacher play in your professional development? Q2 - What best helps teachers to improve their practice (in-house training, lesson observation, teacher journals, academic certification, e.g. a university teaching degree or international teaching certificate)? Q3 - What opportunities for development are there in regions away from the big cities? Q4 - Is there any advice you wish someone had told you when you started teaching?
