Develop your understanding and how to apply Active Learning in your teaching practice
Aims
Enrichment professional development courses are for teachers and school leaders who have been teaching or implementing Cambridge programmes and qualifications for at least a year and would like to develop their practice in specific areas. This course encourages teachers to reflect on, and take greater responsibility for their teaching as well as become more innovative in their classroom practice.
Timings and content
The courses last five weeks:
- Week 1: Introductions and overview of Active Learning
- Week 2: Exploring what effective Active Learning looks like
- Week 3: Preparing Active Learning techniques to try in the classroom*
- Week 4: Teaching practice and reflection*
- Week 5: Planning next steps to integrate Active Learning into your teaching practice
Teachers should expect to spend 3 - 5 hours a week on the course.
*Weeks 3 and 4 will involve putting what you have learned into practice and reflecting upon the outcome. It is important that you have access to learners during these weeks.
Successful completion of this course is based on participation in collaborative activities with teachers from around the world. The discussions and activities each week are in groups. You do not need to be online at a particular time of day for our online courses, but we recommend that you access the course every day. To help you manage your time and aid collaboration, we provide clear guidelines so you know which days to carry out the activities for each week.
Participants who complete key weekly activities and engage fully in discussions throughout the course will receive a certificate.
- A certificate of participation is awarded to participants who complete some of the tasks on the course to a satisfactory level.
- A certificate of completion is awarded to participants who complete all of the tasks on the course to a satisfactory level.
