Why do we need training modules?
Teachers were asked as part of the project to talk about their own training experiences and how they prefer to learn about new approaches and topics. They were unanimous in their preference to hear about practical tips and ideas as to how they can best animate and engage their students, as well as to discover the means by which they can plan and implement any such beneficial approaches in their classrooms.
This section therefore looks to this aspect of the CEPNET approach. While the toolkits and guides are available elsewhere, this section looks to how we can effectively and innovatively train our teachers to bring the approach into their classrooms and between different classrooms.
We have a series of training modules for you where teachers give tips and ideas as to how you can better understand the CEPNET approach and in turn deliver it to your students. There are some exercises, tests and plenty of videos from our experienced team.
Each module is based around the following format:
- Learning objectives
- Preparation and planning
- Implementation
- Reflection
The aim is that you can move through these modules, aware of their purpose and find assistance about how best to plan, deliver and then review your CEPNET work. There are a host of videos, hand-outs, templates, guides and tips. These are all based on the work of our teachers and these modules have been tested extensively with them.
You can find a more detailed “how to use the site” document here that links the modules to our competence framework, its evaluation and some key findings. This document provides a backdrop to this set of training modules, so please refer to it if you require more detail.
Here is a quick reminder of the framework that drives our project. We are looking to promote skills, attitudes and values and knowledge acquisition in our classrooms and between our classrooms.
Here, one of our principals explains how bringing the CEPNET project into their school not only supported the application of their national curriculum, but it also promoted a wide range of competences for their students.
