How well are you and your school recognising your place in the world, cognisant of your own context yet not bound by it? How do you work to create an internationally-minded culture that informs your school ethos as well as your own teaching and/or leadership?

At ECIS, we believe that increased global understanding and engagement is an imperative in schools today, as we seek a better understanding of our world and an appreciation of each other, so that we create impact and opportunity for current and subsequent generations. Enter the ECIS Awareness in Global Perspectives.

“The ECIS International Teacher Certificate is a professional development qualification which will help your teachers develop their skills and deepen their knowledge around the intersection of intercultural awareness and global competence.

Middle leaders, from teacher-leaders through coordinators and assistant principals (and more!), are crucial partners in facilitating school change that has a direct and meaningful impact on student learning. The middle leader certificate programme translates quality research around middle leadership into a credible professional pathway. The programme identifies and nurtures the skills and behaviours needed to be an effective middle leader who influences the school community.

How to Develop Digital Competences for Education is a self-study course to guide teachers in developing digital competences for education. Teachers will acquire good digital practice techniques with some activities specifically designed to integrate digitalization into the classroom. From blogs to website design, we will also be looking at the core values of active learning and motivation while promoting student work online and the use of social media.

The Assessment Lead Programme, delivered by Evidence Based Education, enables education professionals to make their assessment approach more efficient, allowing them to make more reliable judgements about what pupils know, can do and need next.

By generating and using higher quality information on pupil learning, and better integrating assessment with curriculum and pedagogy, teaching can be more responsive to pupil needs. Spend less time producing data and gain time for refining pedagogy.

Assessment Essentials focuses specifically on ‘what every teacher needs to know about assessment’.

The course follows a micro-lesson structure, designed to fit around the busy timetable of teachers and is a commitment of around 1.5 hours per week. It includes insight interviews with leading thinkers and practitioners – Dylan Wiliam, Daisy Christodoulou, John Hattie and others who will help teachers reflect on and develop their practice.
