3. The Annual Professional Development Workshops for Teachers July-August
This is the flagship programme of our Division which was established in 2008 by a former Minister of Education, the Honourable Esther LeGendre. The objectives then and now are essentially the same:
- to promote continuous learning and
- to stimulate the growth of a community of learners
We are mindful that many teachers prefer to attend workshops during the school vacation because they do not have to worry about missing classes or picking up children from school. Teachers come to seek solutions or strategies to challenges they have been experiencing in and out of the classroom and to also renew acquaintances with colleagues from previous workshops.
Here are a few of the workshops we have offered through the years:
- Data- driven Instruction
- Classroom Management
- Identifying Students with Special Needs
- Play Therapy
- Learning with Blogs and Wikis
- Differentiated Instruction
- App Development Made Easy
- Developing ICT Infused Lessons
- Preparing for Promotion Series
