Symposium On Professional Development For Teachers, Department Heads & Principals

SYMPOSIUM ON Teaching 2.0: A New Era of Teaching and Learning

(A repeat of episode 1 of this series with a live Q&A session)

This 45-minute symposium is suitable for teachers, coordinators, department heads, headteachers, school leaders and other stakeholders in education. It focuses on the new era of teaching and learning which is characterised by the integration of technology, personalised learning, adaptive and experiential teaching and collaboration. This symposium is the first episode in a series Teaching Excellence and Relevance: The Must-Have Tools of a 21^st-Century Teacher and acts as a pre-cursor to our longer professional development programmes on educational topics. It also contributes towards the 50 hours of CPD requirement for educators as per the NEP 2020.

During this symposium, we’ll look at some of the key features that characterise the new era of teaching and learning, including but not limited to creativity and collaboration, AI-driven and adaptive education, personalised, active, technology-enabled and experiential teaching and learning and student-centred education. We’ll also explore ways in which teachers can equip their students to overcome the challenges of the 21^st century whilst also adequately preparing themselves for the future.

The symposium aims to address questions such as:

• 

  What characterises the new era of teaching and learning?
• 

  How can teachers future-proof themselves and stay one step ahead of innovation in the new era of education? 
• 

  How can teachers make sure that they possess the necessary teaching skills for the 21^st century?
• 

  What abilities, traits, and skills should teachers focus on to guarantee their continued importance in the future?
• 

  How can school leaders support their staff in terms of efficiency, efficacy, future-readiness, relevance and excellence?
