TEACHER DEVELOPMENT
ENHANCING & ADVANCING CLASSROOM PRACTICE
Welcome to our world of courses for educators. If you have any specific questions, please contact learning@ecis.org.
CHILD PROTECTION CERTIFICATE
Establishing a successful safeguarding culture in a school results from professional learning that includes everyone who works in or for a school — from teaching staff through school leadership and governing stakeholders. Understanding and applying the best safeguarding practices and behaviours is not for teachers alone; nor is it for school leaders alone, nor for trustees or governors alone. It is for everyone!
MIDDLE LEADER CERTIFICATE
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.
PREPARING FOR INTERNATIONAL TEACHING CERTIFICATE
“The ECIS Preparing for International Teaching 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.
GOVERNANCE
The Advanced Governance Webinars move the conversation about governance beyond basic training for new governors/trustees. We focus on four areas that are critical to success, but and also have the potential to create significant problems when done poorly. Each is a stand-alone webinar, but we suggest that you view all four as a complete package. The goal is to offer information which will lead to thoughtful conversations in your board room and inform good governance practice in a new way.
AWARENESS IN DIGITAL COMPETENCIES
This 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.
AWARENESS IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES
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.
