Spletna zbornica

Povzetek
Verjetno ni učitelja, ki si ne bi želel kdaj povedati vsega, kar ga muči in zanima pri šolskem delu. Del tega lahko uresniči v zbornici ali pri pogovoru s kolegom, vsega pa ne.
Hitre spremembe v šolstvu in vse večje zahteve od učitelja premagujemo vsak na svoj način. Posledice so stiske učitelja in občutek neuspeha, kar povzroča vse večji stres in izgorevanje. Nihče ne želi izpasti kot nezmožen za reševanje problemov pri svojem delu. Zlasti učitelji težko priznamo, da česa ne znamo, zato (pre)pogosto sami iščemo rešitve, namesto da bi težave poskušali rešiti s pomočjo kolegov. Šolske zbornice niso več prostor, v katerem bi reševali težave na osebnem nivoju.
Učitelji bolj kot kdajkoli potrebujemo nek prostor, podporo za naše osebno-pedagoške potrebe, za razreševanje težav, ki jih povzroča naš poklic. Nujno potrebujemo sodelovanje z ljudmi, ki razumejo nas in naše potrebe. In ti ljudje so lahko le učitelji! Stare zbornice ne služijo več temu namenu. Zato je napočil čas, da jih posodobimo. Sodelovanje, medsebojna pomoč in podpora učiteljev v spletni zbornici deluje. Na učiteljska.net smo to preverili!
Abstract
Teachers who would not like to be able to, at least from time to time, say what is on their mind and what bothers them about schoolwork, probably do not exist. Partly, this can be done in the school staffroom or in conversation with a colleague, but never completely.
Teachers cope with the fast changes in the school system and with the growing demands on them in different ways, the consequences being teachers in distress and having a sense of failure, resulting in more and more stress and teacher burnout syndrome. Nobody wants to be considered unable to solve his/her own problems, connected with his/her work. Teachers find it particularly difficult to admit that they do not know how to do something, so they (too) frequently try to find the answers on their own instead of trying to solve their problems with a little help from their colleagues. School staffrooms are no longer the place to solve their problems on a personal level as they used to be.
Nowadays, more than ever, teachers need a place where they can get all the support for our personal pedagogical needs and where they can try to solve problems, caused by their profession. In order to do this, they truly need to cooperate with people who understand them and their needs, that is, other teachers! And since school staffrooms do not serve this purpose any more, it is high time to modernize the staffrooms as well. Cooperation, mutual help and support in the online staffroom really work, as it has been proven on Učiteljska.net, the Slovenian online portal for teachers.
