Assuming that in-service training is a key strategic lever for teacher development, this paper investigates to what extent, with what objectives, contents and modalities school leaders manage in-service training for primary school teachers. Law no. 107/2015 entrusts the school headmaster with a role in surveying the training needs emerging among teachers, in promoting training courses, in monitoring, evaluating and possibly integrating the proposed activities. It is undeniable, on the other hand, that appreciable differences between the various educational institutions in the training of teaching staff are, in part, determined by the intentions of their school heads. In the light of these considerations, this paper intends to investigate the role of the school manager as an orchestrator of the improvement processes, with a focus on the key role he plays with respect to the support, development, professional development and teamwork capacity of teachers within and outside the school community. This survey will be carried out by means of semi-structured interviews to six school managers of the Veneto region that have primary schools in their institute, using qualitative methodologies and with respect to these five focuses: the practices for detecting the training needs of teachers, the criteria that guide the choice of courses and the methods for providing teacher training, the monitoring of training courses and the evaluation of their effectiveness, the development of soft skills in team-building activities and, more generally, the beliefs and practices related to the development of teacher professionalism and the school community.
Assunto che la formazione continua costituisca una leva strategica fondamentale per lo sviluppo dei docenti, il presente lavoro indaga in che misura, con quali obiettivi, contenuti e modalità i dirigenti scolastici gestiscono formazione in servizio degli insegnanti della scuola primaria. La legge n. 107/2015 affida al dirigente scolastico un ruolo nella rilevazione delle esigenze formative emergenti fra gli insegnanti, nella promozione dei percorsi formativi, nel monitoraggio, valutazione ed eventuale integrazione delle attività proposte. È innegabile, d’altra parte, che differenze apprezzabili tra le diverse istituzioni scolastiche nella formazione del corpo docente siano, in parte, determinate dalle intenzionalità dei loro capi di istituto. Alla luce di queste considerazioni, il presente lavoro intende approfondire il ruolo del dirigente scolastico come orchestratore dei processi di miglioramento, con focus sul ruolo chiave che egli svolge rispetto al supporto, allo sviluppo, all’aggiornamento professionale e alla capacità di collaborazione in team dei docenti all’interno e all’esterno della comunità scolastica. Tale indagine è stata svolta attraverso interviste semistrutturate rivolte a sei dirigenti scolastici di Istituti comprensivi veneti che contano Plessi di scuola primaria al loro interno, utilizzando metodologie qualitative e rispetto a questi cinque focus: le prassi di rilevazione dei bisogni formativi degli insegnanti, i criteri che orientano la scelta dei percorsi e delle modalità di erogazione della formazione rivolta agli insegnanti, il monitoraggio dei percorsi formativi e la valutazione della loro efficacia, lo sviluppo delle soft skills in attività di team building e, più in generale, le convinzioni e le prassi legate allo sviluppo della professionalità docente e della comunità scolastica.

Abstract
Assuming that in-service training is a key strategic lever for teacher development, this paper investigates to what extent, with what objectives, contents and modalities school leaders manage in-service training for primary school teachers. Law no. 107/2015 entrusts the school headmaster with a role in surveying the training needs emerging among teachers, in promoting training courses, in monitoring, evaluating and possibly integrating the proposed activities. It is undeniable, on the other hand, that appreciable differences between the various educational institutions in the training of teaching staff are, in part, determined by the intentions of their school heads. In the light of these considerations, this paper intends to investigate the role of the school manager as an orchestrator of the improvement processes, with a focus on the key role he plays with respect to the support, development, professional development and teamwork capacity of teachers within and outside the school community. This survey will be carried out by means of semi-structured interviews to six school managers of the Veneto region that have primary schools in their institute, using qualitative methodologies and with respect to these five focuses: the practices for detecting the training needs of teachers, the criteria that guide the choice of courses and the methods for providing teacher training, the monitoring of training courses and the evaluation of their effectiveness, the development of soft skills in team-building activities and, more generally, the beliefs and practices related to the development of teacher professionalism and the school community.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
