This 5-day intensive program is designed for teachers and teacher assistants who are eager to refine their pedagogical skills. We provide a practical, interactive learning environment that focuses on developing essential teaching techniques.

Teachers of all subjects are welcome to join the program. We’ll focus on general pedagogy and instructional design, exploring materials from ECD to middle- and high-school classrooms. Please note that the program will not cover teaching young learners in depth.
