Education for the 21st Century – A Masterclass in Purposeful Education

Welcome to this teacher training program focusing on Education in the 21st Century. Throughout this course, we will explore the fundamentals of teaching methods and classroom ideology to establish a curriculum and environment that highlights student-centred learning and vital skills. We will provide you with evidence-based materials and illustrations to assist you in implementing theoretical concepts into your own classroom. Our objective is to nurture academic excellence in the present while equipping students with the necessary skills for the future.

As educators, our ultimate aim is to shape our students into compassionate individuals capable of positively impacting the world. While we cannot teach you how to teach with heartfelt passion, by harnessing your own enthusiasm for education, you can demonstrate to your students the true meaning of intelligence. Intelligence encompasses more than just grades or adherence to instructions; it encompasses acceptance, empathy, compromise, communication, and love. It involves acknowledging the world’s shortcomings and believing in one’s own capacity to effect change.

While formal assessments hold significance, our role as educators is to produce well-rounded individuals who demonstrate care for others, the environment, and strive for peace and understanding. Throughout this program, we will collaborate to establish a classroom routine, ideology, and environment that fosters these values.
