As the environment changes, so does the teaching systems. No matter how the education policy changes, the teaching effects always play the leading role. An aboriginal junior high school in the remote area in Kaohsiung, the "Teldreka Potential Development Team," won the Excellent Teacher Award from the MOE in 2008. Their winning changed the stereotype on aboriginal schools and teachers. The process and implications of their success are worth investigating. In this article, "Teldreka Potential Development Team was used as an example to explore the important factors of professional empowerment of teachers in excellent teaching teams in aboriginal schools through in-depth interview. The results indicate that three important factors influence professional empowerment of teachers. First, principals with supreme leadership and excellent teachers are required. The leadership styles of the principals or the section directors, the support from the principals, teachers' sense of calling, team respect, communication, and professional expertise are all important. Second, aboriginal schools need to emphasize the development of aboriginal culture. For instance, aboriginal culture and local lives can be combined. The works for science exhibitions should be life-related. Traditional skills need to be more artistic. Third, inspiration and teaching transforms are the important factors as well. For example, the effects of the teaching teams should be encouraged. The sense of identity and cooperation from the community and parents are necessary. Teaching inheriting and innovation are vital. In conclusion, the effectiveness of teachers' professional empowerment is the combination of "ability," "opportunity," and "will." The professional expertise of the excellent teaching teams depends on the whole-hearted participation of the principal, the teachers, and the students so that vision of education and teaching effectiveness can be created. |
