TTF Regional and Constituency Virtual Meetings February 2021

This event is for TTF Members only

*

The International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 (TTF) will organise a series of virtual governance meetings with TTF members in early 2021. The aim of the meetings will be to provide TTF members with the opportunity to report back on activities carried out in their respective countries or organisations in 2020 and identify needs and potential new areas of collaboration in 2021. Members will also be able to discuss any new issues in relation to teachers and teaching arising from the COVID-19 crisis.


The meetings will also serve to fulfil any governance functions, notably to review the 2020 Annual Report and the 2021 Work Plan, and elect representatives to the TTF Steering Committee who are due for rotation or re-election.


The draft calendar is proposed as follows:

Calendar

Regional & constituency meetings (1-5 February)
The Regional and constituency meetings will aim to bring together TTF focal points and members only, and aim to:

  • Discuss and report on issues and activities in 2020 in relation to teacher and teaching developments in their country/regions or constituency group;
  • Review the TTF 2020 Annual Report and 2021 Work Plan, and identify any existing or potentially new activities of particular interest to their respective region or group;
  • Discuss the development of the new 2022-2025 Strategic Plan and identify any issues to prioritise. Communicate with members that a consultation process will take place later in the year, and identify any members interested in being involved in the reference group for its development;
  • Take note of new members, updates in focal points. In the regions where appropriate, nominations will be communicated and elections of new Steering Committee representatives will take place.
  • Identify any other issues to be brought to the attention of the TTF Secretariat or Steering Committee, or for discussion during the Annual Meeting.

For these meetings, invitations will be sent by the Secretariat, except for the CSO group with whom the Secretariat will liaise for organisation. Each Focal point will be invited to prepare in advance 2 slides to share with the group:


1) Slide 1 – main challenges and achievements for teachers in 2020
2) Slide 2– Suggestions for joint TTF activities in 2021 within the region, or globally (including documents that could be shared in the Knowledge Platform)

The working documents for these meetings are here

Together with the OECD we are crowdsourcing school innovations

Innovative school responses in the Covid-19 context

Schools are playing a frontline role in the world’s efforts to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. Teachers, school leaders, educators have responded in innovative ways to serve their students and their communities. Identifying and leveraging these innovations is key to:

  • Supporting other teachers who are facing similar changes and challenges around the globe.
  • Shaping society’s efforts to build stronger classrooms for the future.
  • Recognising the unwavering dedication and commitment of the profession.

We invite partners to join a campaign to support schools to have their innovations heard at a global scale and to foster a cross-country dialogue around rebuilding education out of these challenging and testing times.

 

Crowdsourcing school innovations

From 16 November to 20 December 2020, teachers, teacher educators and school leaders can upload a two-minute video to share their insights on three important questions:

  • What innovations in your teaching are you most proud of?
  • What new forms of collaboration with your peers have been most helpful?
  • What have you learnt and what will your teaching look like in the future?

Many organisations are working hard to support teachers in this space. If your organisation has already done a similar exercise to identify innovations, please invite those teachers or schools leaders from the most promising innovations you have identified to share their video. In this case, the contributions will appear under the logo of your organisation.

 

Identifying and leveraging the most promising innovations

The international teaching community will be able to watch and engage with videos through the OECD’s Global Teaching InSights platform. Alongside an international panel, teachers will also be able to identify the innovations that can have a long-lasting impact at scale.

A series of global events and opportunities will bring together teachers, school leaders, policymakers and researchers to discuss the leading ideas and innovations of these videos and what they mean for education going forward.

This campaign is led by the OECD, UNESCO and the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 (TTF) with the support of Education International, Teach for All and the International Confederation of Principals.

 

Social media campaign

Follow the Hashtag: #GlobalTeachingInSights on the Teacher Task Force and OECD Education Twitter accounts.

Visit the Global Teaching InSights platform.
