It is a wonderful feeling when you help people realize their dreams. As your students show progress in their English ability, largely due to your teaching and inspiration, you will share in their feelings of accomplishment. Our teachers play an essential role in the development and creation of students' lessons and so the feelings of satisfaction are well deserved. AEON has earned a strong reputation for quality lessons, and the surest way to protect and enhance that reputation is through the efficient and effective training of our teachers. After all, a school can only be as good as its teachers. AEON's excellent training system and educational support staff of experienced and professional teachers have successfully helped new teachers to adapt and develop rapidly. Teachers receive a week of Initial Training upon their arrival in Japan at an AEON Training Center. AEON as a Company AEON Classroom Curriculum Interviewing Prospective Students Teaching Techniques Teacher/Manager Relations Model Lessons Cultural Information Lesson Planning & Preparation Education as a Business AEON Kids Curriculum & Classes Counseling & Motivating Students Teaching Kids/Classroom Management Teachers have the opportunity to teach demonstration lessons during training with the support and feedback of their trainers and fellow trainees. Once at their schools, our teachers receive additional on-the-job training. Observing the lessons of other teachers, attending informational meetings with the Manager and Head Teacher, and receiving an orientation to the school and its procedures are all part of a new teacher's first few weeks on the job. During this period, AEON does its very best to help teachers make a smooth transition into their new lives. The staff at the school will assist teachers in registering with City Hall and opening a Bank Account, and will even provide instruction on how to use the appliances in the apartment. To enhance the skills they acquired during Initial Training and in the classroom, teachers attend Follow-Up Training a few months after they have been teaching at their branch schools. At this time, they are given an opportunity to share ideas and teaching techniques with other teachers. In addition, various workshops are held throughout the year to help teachers further develop their skills. Finally, teachers are encouraged to maintain contact with members of the Training staff, who provide personalized attention through phone calls and school visits.
