Vision for the site - 'TEACHERWORLD'

The vision for 'TeacherWorld' is to create a truly interactive medium of communication which will enable members of minority ethnic communities to engage in debate and discussion around educational issues. This site is particularly geared towards providing information and support for teachers from diverse backgrounds and those who wish to enter the teaching profession

By being up front about the evolving nature of the teaching profession and highlighting issues involved in the teaching world, the site aims to seek views of minority ethnic teachers and the community by inviting them to contribute, offer opinions about rules and regulations facing the teaching profession and ultimately affect policy in this area. It seeks to create transparency in the system and to empower minority ethnic teachers by giving them the opportunity to make their voices heard.

The networking element of the site is aimed at addressing the feeling of isolation that is experienced by minority ethnic teachers by providing on-line opportunity to chat and discuss issues faced by those already in the profession and those who wish to enter it. It aims to seek wider views on education from parents, educationalists, pupils and teachers and to raise the status and self esteem of minority ethnic teachers and teacher recruits from this community. Through the discussion forum we aim to have sustained discussions around educational issues and create a rich source for opinions expressed here. Post a Question should prove to be a popular service through which you can ask questions and obtain responses from experts in the educational arena.

TeacherWorld aims to create a virtual community and through its very nature, will promote awareness about cultural issues amongst the wider community. It includes a journal for on-line publishing. All members are encouraged to put forward material for publishing (see details about publishing on the Journal page)

The Case studies page includes lively personal accounts of black and minority ethnic teachers who have made it in the profession. Read the excellent stories they have to tell. If you know of anyone who should feature in this section please go to the case studies page and fill out the relevant form.
