Do we enter the business of performance management and how does this impact the relationship we have with participants? Do we adopt a pass/fail approach or a benchmarking approach? How do we assess prior learning? How do we ensure the mandatory approach meets specific disciplinary needs? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||

Re: Topic 2: The structure of a teacher-training framework by ◀ |
Another way would be to consider a "constructivist" approach to applying the framework....what would it look like? Would there even be a national standards framework in a constructivist environment? | questions | Hilda Anggraeni ◀ | ||
