Teachers Training, a Crucial Approach in the Area of Change

1 Department for Initial and Continuing Teachers Training, “Transilvania” University of Brasov, 56 Balcescu str., RO-2200 Brasov, Romania, Tel., *40+68+470190, Email:[email protected] Abstract  An opinion regarding the necessity for reconsideration of the system of teachers’ training in Europe, and maybe not only, is presented. The educational reforms, existing in almost all educational systems in the world, show that it is important to adjust the education to the new dynamic requests of an extremely dynamic society. This is possible only if the main “actor” in education area is a properly trained professional. We suggest there should be developed a European strategy for teachers’ training, starting with the final point: a clear but adjustable in time, “competence profile”. The literature of the last decades presents a lot of preoccupations about the “manager profile” even in the area of education. The teacher is a manager too, an educational manager, with the same main necessary competencies everywhere in the world, especially now when the world seems to be so tiny. When it is clear where we should arrive, imagining the ways becomes an easier issue.
