In search of the Teacher of the Future
Students in secondary education have an incomplete picture of what being a teacher entails. Both the study and the profession feel like too narrow a choice with few development opportunities. This while 91% of primary teachers are satisfied with their jobs, and 95% in secondary education. What opportunities are there to get more people excited about the profession?
To achieve this OCW and Ideate used a design-based approach in 2023 to develop behavioural interventions. In the project, OCW and Ideate engaged in mass co-creation with many partners, experts, students, teachers, mentors, deans, and school administrators. This is how we came to recommendations for campaigns and interventions that will help increase enrolment in teacher training programs, position the profession attractively, and enthuse students with a talent for teaching for the profession.
