We’ve designed graduate certificate in education programs for majors to help teachers improve their skills in certain areas and phases of learning. The program brings new pedagogies, content, and perspectives into current teaching practices. This course offers teachers a multifaceted approach to ensure high levels of engagement and great learning experiences for all of them. This way, it personalises the learning process and addresses a bunch of educational issues that we face nowadays.
We’ve designed a program for “Graduate Major in International Education” for in-service teaching professionals. During the course, the students will study the history and development of international education. They will examine how international mindedness is conceptualised as well as current trends in curriculum internationalisation. Students will get a chance to study the different types of international curriculum models and practices. They will be introduced to the important elements of the International Baccalaureate (IB) suite of programs, which include the Primary Years Program, Middle Years Program, and Diploma Program. At the end of the program, students will have IB teaching certification.
