Who can benefit?
- individual teachers
- teams of teachers from the same department / division of the school
- whole school approach – general training sessions for all the teaching staff in a school
Reflection question: what is the percentage of my outstanding lessons?; how about at a department level?; or school division?; or the whole school?
And how do I know what an outstanding lesson looks like? Which are the criteria of success? Is there a general recipe?
Why would you do teaching and learning training?
Overall, this is a self-explanatory question, as the process of continuous development and learning is a well-known phenomenon globally.
We would like to point out the need for schools to develop training programmes directed towards the specific needs of each teacher.
How can we support?
- specific training that includes reference to the best practice examples in the international educational environment.
- training based on practice – teaching strategies, differentiation, assessment, behaviour management, feed-back & marking.
We can support the schools to create a whole teacher training programme tailored to the needs of the teachers. And the strategy to develop it, based on objective data!
We can support school departments to create tool-kits of methods of teaching, differentiation, assessment, based on the expertise already present in the school.
