NTC: National Teachers Standard Ghana Handbook

By -


The National Teachers’ Standards represents the first ever collectively agreed standards to guide teacher preparation and practice in the country.

The Standards have been developed as a professional tool to guide teacher educators, teachers,student teachers and other stakeholders in education to identify in clear and precise terms what teachers are expected to know and be able to do, qualitiesthey are expected to possess and some behaviour they are supposed to exhibit.

The Standards set a clear baseline of expectations for the professional knowledge, practice, conduct, attitude, rights and obligations expected of teachers working in schools at the pre-tertiary level. All teachers completing their initial teacher training will be assessed against the National Teachers’ Standards.

It is noteworthy that the National Teachers’ Standards replaces the diversity of standards being used in the various institutions offering initial teacher education and/or providing continuing professional development with a consolidated set of national standards to ensure that student teachers’ training and development is guided by the same set of standards.

These Standards are designed to improve the quality of teachers’ delivery and students’ performance and should therefore be used as a reference tool for student teachers, teacher educators, in-service teachers, head teachers, mentors, school inspectors and all who are working at training student teachers.

The development of these standards is consistent with discussions on both pre-tertiary curriculum and teacher education reforms occurring nationally and led by the Ministry of Education, about the most successful processes for assuring teacher quality and students’ learning outcomes.

Minisyry of Education recognises that intensive professional development workshops will be required to prepare teacher educators to effectively prepare student teachers to deliver on the standards, but it is my strong belief that with dedication and commitment the quality of teaching and student learning outcomes will improve markedly.

To My Porn-Watching Dad, From Your Daughter

By -
Dear Dad, I want to let you know first of all that I love you and forgive you for what this has done in my life. I also wanted to let you know exactly what your porn use has done to my life. You may think that this effects only you, or even your and mom’s relationships. But it has had a profound impact on me and all of my siblings as well. I found your porn on the computer somewhere around the age of 12 or so, just when I was starting to become a young woman. First of all, it seemed very hypocritical to me that you were trying to teach me the value of what to let into my mind in terms of movies, yet here you were entertaining your mind with this junk on a regular basis. Your talks to me about being careful with what I watched meant virtually nothing. Because of pornography, I was aware that mom was not the only woman you were looking at. I became acutely aware of your wandering eye when we were out and about. This taught me that all men have a wandering eye and can’t be t...

The Northern Regional Director of Education, Mohammed Haroon Cambodia has confirmed government will be paying a staggering GHC400,000 as judgment debt to a private citizen in order to stop the auctioning of vehicles belonging to the Ghana Senior High School in Tamale. Government is offering the bailout following a chronic transport difficulty that has hit the school for the last two years after a court order impounded the only bus for students and a brand new official pickup vehicle. Two Nissan patrol vehicles belonging to the Education directorate were also taken by the court. The vehicles were confiscated to be auctioned to pay up salary arrears of a former headmaster of the school who accused the school and education service of injustices including inappropriate dismissal and concealing his promotion letter.
