Enhancing teacher education through OER:
Feedback form
I am doing an online course about using Open Educational Resources in my work with teachers and student teachers. As part of the course I am examining and developing my own practice as a teacher educator. One of the activities has asked me to find out about the views of the teachers and students that I work with. 
I am interested in your thoughts and feelings about learning to teach and trying new approaches to teaching. Knowing how you feel will help me to understand your experience and provide appropriate support. I would be grateful if you would help me and share your thoughts and views with me. 

1.	Why did you want to become a teacher? What do you enjoy most about teaching? What do you look forward to most? 

2.	What are your strengths? What qualities do you have that help you as a teacher?

3.	What aspects of your knowledge and teaching skills are the ones that concern you most? For example, are there areas of the subject that you are not so confident about? Are there any aspects of teaching – such as behaviour management or interactive approaches – that you find more challenging?

4.	How do you learn new knowledge and skills? What learning activities would be most useful for you? For example, do you like sharing with others, reading, micro-teaching or trying out different ideas in the classroom?

5.	Are there any challenges for you trying out different ideas in the classroom? What makes it difficult? What concerns you? 

6.	What support would be useful? Does talking about your experience help?
