The FQT workshop provides the essentials required for quality teachers to operate a classroom that is conducive to learning in an international school setting.
The FQT workshop addresses actual challenges that teachers face inside classrooms and within their schools, and provides practical solutions to dealing with these problems with the core aim of maximizing teaching productivity to achieve desired learning outcomes. It introduces teachers to a variety of new teaching approaches and techniques, and exposes them to crucial aspects involved in the teaching and learning process that affects their delivery, therefore affects the quality of education.
The FQT workshop stresses equal emphasis on all four elements of the teaching and learning process; the teacher, the learner, the curriculum, and the environment that embeds all four elements.
