The teaching profession reimagined: Adapting to a changing world

The teaching profession and the environments that support it are evolving. This is forcing education systems to rethink career pathways, strengthen teacher autonomy and find ways to foster a healthy, sustainable work environment. A diverse, flexible profession, that values specialisation, collaboration, and continuous learning, can support teachers and attract new generations. But what does this shift mean in practice and how can schools, education systems and teachers shape the transformation?

Our latest webinar will look at the emerging trends in teacher professionalism, drawing on insights from the OECD’s New Professionalism and the Future of Teaching project. Experts and practitioners will discuss how professional environments can evolve to empower teachers, support career diversity and create the conditions for sustained well-being and effectiveness. Join us as we discuss what it takes to build a teaching profession that is resilient, dynamic and future-ready.
