SUMMARY:Professionalization of Teacher Education in Ghana: Beyond Content, Context and Theory (Prof. Dr. Dandy George Dampson, UEW, Ghana)
DESCRIPTION:Teacher education and schooling in Ghana started when western e
 ducation was introduced in the form of ‘Castle schools’ by the Portugu
 ese, the first Europeans to visit Ghana in 1471. At the initial stages of 
 educational development, teaching in the schools in Ghana, as in other par
 ts of West Africa, was modelled on the well-known monitorial systems of Jo
 seph Lancaster and Andrew Bell (Hilliard 1957) which were popular in Brita
 in and Canada at the beginning of the 19th century. In this system, the sc
 arcity of trained teachers was somewhat short-circuited. Since then, teach
 er education and schooling in Ghana has gone through various reforms which
  mostly aimed to restructure the education system inherited from the Briti
 sh. This presentation contributes to the ongoing dialogue, implementation 
 and understanding of the evolution of teacher education in Ghana and the i
 mpact of educational reforms on curricula, teaching and training which is 
 geared towards teacher professionalization in Ghana. Participants will be 
 exposed to some of the tenets of teacher professionalization such as the N
 ational Teacher Standards, Support Teaching in Schools, Teacher Licensure,
  Teaching Standards and Teacher Specialization.
