Eduversal 2017 – Global CPD

This year’s Professional Education and Training will be held from 06 to 10 July 2017 in Jakarta, Indonesia, under the motto “Content and Language both Matter”. Considering this, all Global CPD services are built around you – your goals, your needs, your time frame and your environment.

Introduction to CLIL in Secondary Science

This initial stage of setting goals for better quality education at your institutions starts with a number of input sessions for inspiration which are followed by daily practical sessions of microteaching or presentations to provide participants an opportunity to perk up their teaching and mentoring skills.

The main objective of these microteaching sessions is to provide an environment for practice-based teaching and to instill self-evaluative skills. This is a training technique, which provides teachers an opportunity to elevate their instruction by improving the various simple tasks called teaching skills.

Things to Keep in Mind

Certain aspects of teaching have great impact on the learning process and can lead to improved learning experiences for learners. Thus, when we help teachers develop their awareness, knowledge and skills through systematic, continuous professional development, student learning improves.

We are well aware that no initial training can provide teachers with the necessary knowledge and skills for a lifetime of teaching. Teachers must work throughout their professional lives to develop their professional expertise and keep up with new information that is relevant to their field of study.

Alongside conducting classroom observations to support stronger subject oriented teaching methods and strategies, we also consider the atmosphere of the institutions; i.e. behaviours in corridors, cafeteria etc, since these have a huge impact on teacher motivation and classroom management.

At Global-CPD, we believe that there is no one correct teaching method. We value traditional, core teaching methods as well as newer student-centered, constructivist approaches. The best choices are always made after the careful analysis of the specific conditions and the intended learning outcomes.

While observing and assessing these components of effective teaching, our fundamental aim of maximizing student learning will always be at the forefront. Finally, you should know that we eagerly look forward to working with you to create a vibrant community of ‘teachers-as-learners’.
