What We Offer
Our teachers are dedicated to developing themselves as well as our students. Educational instructors at the Professional Development Centre support them to deepen their expertise and put their training into practice. They also collaborate with colleagues around the Academies Network to share their experience.
We consult with teachers, school leaders and government education bodies to support national education priorities, and have developed outreach programmes for government, private and not-for-profit schools.
Training topics include:
- teaching literacy and numeracy
- using activities in science lessons
- encouraging participation in maths classes
- using technology effectively
- managing classes of students
- advanced English language
- providing leadership and management in education
- sharing knowledge with other teachers.
With post-course support for participants and a community feel throughout, we are creating a network of collaborative teachers and school leaders, ready to help each other raise the next generation.
