Student Centered Training
Professional Strategies for Learning
The training will build and enhance teacher’s competency to create school environments that support students’ development and prepares them for the 21st century. Training will help teachers who are working towards MOE’s vision of ensuring that young people are ‘literate, numerate, and possess critical skills,’ while ensuring that children learn to grow, thrive, and experience joy while learning.
Healthy School Culture
Healthy school culture occurs when strategies identified and agreed upon by teachers becomes the moral fabric of the school and are intentionally integrated into curriculum. The positive school culture should “outlive” staff leadership transitions. Trainings will offer strategies to improve teacher-student relationships, positive teacher – parent communications and will introduce a series of activities that build student self-esteem within cultural competent learning environments.
