Topic:
Supporting teachers via teacher development and building a positive staff culture
Merits:

1.I think  one of my merits is   my constant drive towards teacher development , its support and promotion. The result being  Head of ETAG  Batumi   regional branch ( English Teachers' Association   of Georgia )

2. The second  is directly linked  to the first one   since I  have become an accredited ETAG and British Council  teacher trainer which is very important for me  since I am a qualified  professional who can  share her knowledge  and  experience with other teachers.

3. The third  merit is  me founding   an English Language Centre where  I am Director  of Studies  . I consider it  a great achievement   since  I can  plan    different strategies independently    to focus  more on teacher development , guide  and encourage the inexperienced   teachers towards teaching and development. 

Contribution:

  I think my contribution  will be the topic itself  " Supporting teachers  via teacher development  and building a positive   staff culture " . In my  presentation , I'll  share my experience of how I put this very concept into practice since I am the one who  is in favour of  "practice what  you  preach. "  As well as that , thanks   to the online platform this  forum  provides, my input  to the forum and  education will be  in the form   of  constant   reflections ,   sharing resources,  piloted  activities  and  follow ups   which will involve   introducing  these novelties to  the  teachers of my region. 

Expectations:

As for the expectations  , they are high since  it is  the forum  of the best educators ,  of best practices where I am sure to  learn  about new  trends and discoveries in education ,  share my own views , and equip  the teachers of the region  I live  with new ideas , approaches  and activities .
