Teacher professional development for an inclusive and equitable education in Bogotá

Abstract

It is crucial to prioritize the professional development of teachers to address the challenges and demands of contemporary society, which include the digital age, gender equity, cultural diversity and increasing inclusion in educational environments, outstanding aspects in Bogotá. The need to resume valuable accumulated experiences and merge them with effective practices and strategies is highlighted, so that, in collaboration with newly incorporated teachers, professional success can be achieved, based on the three essential pillars established by the District Education Secretariat. (SED) since 2006: continuous training, updating, innovation and research programs. In this problematization of reality, the vision of educational quality that is deployed from the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is recognized from the approval of the 2030 Agenda, which requires equitable education that works for peace and the development of entrepreneurial people in terms of social inclusion, a goal that must be achieved from the orientation of the learning that teachers carry out in caring for students at any educational level.
