Supporting staff development for international teaching

Type: book
Abstract: As anyone who has travelled the dissertation road knows the process dominates\nuntil the end of that road is reached. After the fireworks, it is time, high time, to\nshare the outcomes outside of a small circle of experts. This monograph is part of\nthe catalytic goals of a study undertaken between 2006 and 2012 in Groningen at\nthe Hanze University of Applied Sciences (HG) where I am employed. The study\nwas originally inspired by my efforts, not always successful, to help my colleagues\nas their teacher of English and as academic staff developer. Initially it was meant\nto be an applied, practitioner research to identify needs, in preparation of a pilot\nproject, not a scientific investigation. I wanted very much to understand why Dutch\nteachers, who received no extra pay or status became involved in international\nteaching. What motivated them, what kept them going, and most of all what did\nthey need in terms of support in the transition and changes they were experiencing?
