Building a teacher’s capacity to formulate questions is essential in their professional development journey. Mastering this skill is crucial, as it enables assessments to gauge learning outcomes accurately and evaluate their quality and quantity.

Modern pedagogical trends, rooted in constructivist theories, have transformed pedagogical assessment. Emphasis has shifted from solely delivering instructional content to supporting students’ learning processes through formative assessment. Assessment, in all its forms and strategies, is no longer separate from the teaching process but rather integral to it, supporting student learning by providing feedback to teachers and students to enhance the overall teaching and learning processes.

Reading is the foundation of knowledge and the growth of ideas; learners cannot progress without mastering it. Reading fluency expands vocabulary and improves concept comprehension. Constructing meaning is a fundamental reading goal, relying on specific linguistic skills and text processing. Therefore, developing effective fluency strategies is crucial for enhancing reading and comprehension skills.

This workshop aims to deepen teachers’ understanding of reading fluency, develop their teaching skills and assess students’ proficiency in this area.

This workshop introduces educators to methods of implementing activities and tasks in a differentiated manner that suits the varying levels of students. It assists them in designing educational activities that engage students of different levels in learning and participation, despite their differences.

In this course, teachers will acquire decision-making skills and the ability to adapt and modify learning opportunities according to the classroom context, student needs, levels, and orientations. This aims to achieve effective and supportive learning

This module deals with techniques for managing virtual classrooms in distance learning. It focuses on three main topics that we must take into consideration when designing and implementing distance learning lessons, namely:

The external environment of the learner: It refers to everything that surrounds the learner from external matters that may affect his learning.

The internal environment of the learner: It refers to the internal motivation that drives the learner to work.

This module focuses on behavior and culture.
 

It tries to frame two critical points teachers must understand in building classroom culture.

First, the purpose of a structured system in the classroom is to promote academic learning. Second, there is a difference between the power of keeping things from going wrong and the benefits of making our classroom a place where things go right, where culture and expectations are positive, joyful, productive, and caring.

This module focuses on three paths that teachers can take to increase ratio: questioning, writing, and discussion. A comprehensive explanation of the effective techniques that contribute to increasing ratios in each of these areas is provided. Those techniques will enable teachers to encourage their students to do as much cognitive work as possible, such as writing, thinking, analyzing, and speaking effectively.

The techniques presented in this part of the training will help teachers to:

The techniques discussed in this module focus on raising the academic ethos in the classroom by adopting the importance of research at the highest level of academic rigor during the different stages of delivering lessons. This module provides techniques that help teachers track the main tools and decisions made in each lesson. In addition, it provides appropriate techniques for each stage to add academic spirit to the subject which makes it acceptable and attractive, starting from prior planning and effective lesson design, making it move in the right direction.

Check for understanding (CFU) and its techniques are presented in sufficiently actionable, concrete, and everyday guidance ways. This module helps the teacher realize that the most crucial task of teaching is to distinguish between “I taught it” from “they learned it.” The techniques support teachers in ensuring that their students have acquired the learning and understand it. It assists them in pinpointing the moment their students` understanding stopped.

The techniques presented in this module of the training will help teachers to:

This workshop is designed to underscore the importance of cooperative learning as a form of education that enhances the student's role as an active learner and provides the opportunity for students to go through real educational situations that develop their skills, build their knowledge, and prepare them well for the future.
