Teacher empowerment: leaving the twilight zone
Plenary Sessions with Paula Rebolledo, Tuesday 2 April at 09.00
Over the past few years and in different fields, the word
“empowerment” has become increasingly used in talks, papers and
social media. Education, of course, has not escaped this trend and
the concept is frequently mentioned as a desired outcome of any
educational activity and teachers, among the lucky ones to benefit
from it. However, and interestingly, the notion of empowerment is
usually not defined and hardly discussed in depth. Is then empowerment such a common
concept these days that needs no clarification? Or, is it that its complexity deters any further
analysis? I believe the persistent calls for the empowerment of teachers demand a closer
study of the process and a critical appraisal of its occurrence. In this talk, we will examine
the concept of empowerment and ‘teacher empowerment’ more specifically. I will draw on
general education literature to present the different dimensions of teacher empowerment
and what research findings suggest regarding its role in students’ achievement. We will then
zoom in on English language teaching and look at how empowered English teachers claim to
feel by sharing stories of empowerment and disempowerment. In doing so, I will invite you to
reflect on enabling features, hindering factors and paradoxes identified to ultimately think of
ways forward if we ‘truly’ wish teacher empowerment to leave the twilight zone.
Paula Rebolledo has 20 years of teaching experience and has taught at primary, secondary, undergraduate
and postgraduate levels and in INSETT programmes. She currently teaches at MA level and works as a
researcher and consultant. She is the former coordinator of teacher education at the English Open Doors
Programme (EODP) at the Ministry of Education in Chile. Her research interests include teaching young
learners, teacher education, professional development and teacher-research. For the past six years, she
has been mentoring teacher-research initiatives such as the Champion Teachers programme and the
APTIS Action Research Award Scheme, both funded by the British Council, and the Laureate Action
Research Scheme funded by Laureate Languages. She co-authored with Richard Smith A Handbook for
Exploratory Action Research and co-edited the Champion Teachers Chile and Peru Stories of Exploratory
Action Research. She is the co-founder of RICELT, the first Chilean network of researchers in ELT.

which it has been suggested this can be remedied. On the one hand, there is the case for

inclusive education in which recognition is accorded to previously erased groups. Drawing
on examples of how this has been done, I will suggest that there are pitfalls to such an
approach being thoughtlessly applied - as the appearance of terms such as homonormativity,
homocapitalism, homonationalism and pink-washing reveal. On the other hand, there is the
more radical case for queer pedagogy, which I will argue is congruent with the principles
of critical pedagogy and a view of education as ‘the practice of freedom’ (hooks, 1994).
Paradoxically, this approach may be more appropriate for teachers working in those parts of
the world where inclusivity is taboo.

The aim of this somewhat unusual plenary is to challenge all of us to step back, ask questions
and see how our day-to-day teaching concerns relate to wider trends in the profession. This
closing event will invite participants to review their conference experience and reflect on
what they are taking away. There will be opportunities for you to get involved, make your
own predictions and put questions to the four presenters both before and during the session.

What makes a good teacher good?
Wednesday 3 April
Teaching life skills to children is key for their future. We believe that this should take priority
over teaching to pass exams. Focus first on teaching life skills; the other success will come
automatically. When a teacher teaches a sense of responsibility to their students (life-coaching),
these students will work harder to be more successful at their lessons, a better person in
society, and more sensitive and responsive towards the problems in their environment and in
the world. Being a teacher already means making a difference in the world, so join us for this
session to find out how you can teach more than just your subject to give youngsters a better
education for life in tomorrow’s world. The success of a teacher is not how high their students’
marks are; it’s how better individuals these students become. You’ll agree: teaching life skills is
a priority over teaching to pass exams.

What is a Special Interest Group (SIG) Showcase?
Special Interest Group Showcases From the speaker proposals submitted for the conference, each SIG chooses presentations
related to their SIG area. These presentations make a ‘SIG Showcase’ within the programme. If you
are interested in a particular SIG area, you have the opportunity to follow this track of selected
sessions throughout the day.
One session in each SIG Showcase is the SIG’s Open Forum. At a SIG Open Forum you can find out
more about the SIG, its events and its committee. Details, including which day each SIG Showcase
is on, are shown below.
Don’t forget to look through the Preview of Presentations to see what other interesting
