教育部研擬教師證換照制 林志成/台北報導………..中時電子報

擁有合格教師證書就可受用一生？教育部昨天召開部務會報，多人表示教師應比照醫生、社工師，定期檢定換照，不能一照用終身。教育部長杜正勝要求相關單位研議教師進階換照制可行性。[@more@]依照現行制度，有意從事教職者只要修畢教育學分、完成實習，並通過教師資格檢定考試，就可取得教師證書，終其一生都有效。
在昨天教育部部務會報上，醫教會常務委員黃崑巖指出，次專科醫生必須每3年換照考核1次，建議教師比照醫生，定期檢定換照。

訓育委員會常委陳金燕也說，社工師證照大約每5年或6年到期，持照者必須加修學分，才能繼續使用證照。如此方式可以讓社工師專業持續進步，建議教師比照社工師制度，才能讓專業繼續成長。

杜正勝裁示，由中教司與教研會研議教師檢定考試與進階換照兩種制度「雙軌合一」可行性，讓教師專業維持一定水準，並且持續進步。

Introduction

This article seeks to provide team teachers with specific tips on how to function effectively as equal partners working together in the same classroom. These step-by-step tips are a basic guide to help you establish a dynamic team so you can experiment and find the approach that works best for you. For teachers who have never had a chance to team teach, or have perhaps avoided doing it for a variety of reasons, perhaps this article will help allay fears and give teachers a sense of what exactly team teaching ‘looks like’ within the class.

From our work team teaching with one another and others in a variety of contexts (elementary, high school, junior high school, and international schools) in Canada, Mexico and Japan, we’ve had the chance to experience everything from wonderful to disastrous team teaching relationships. Based on these experiences, we have assembled a brief series of tips to help you and your classroom partner.

Introduction of Julianna

My name is Julianna Scheumann. I am from Isanti, Minnesota where I went to school at Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minnesota where I majored in English as a Second Langauge Education and Bible and minored in History and Psychology.

I am excited to be here in Taiwan and to start teaching at DaFu Elementary school. I hope that while I am here I will be able to learn some more Chinese, learn about the Chinese holidays, and explore many of Taiwan’s landmarks.
