Powered To Teach Masterclass
The Powered to Teach Masterclass is a 16-week, 8-module professional learning series designed to help every teacher, regardless of their years of experience, improve their practice. Our aim is to offer high quality professional support that will empower every teacher to bring instructional excellence in their classrooms. The programme is designed to build capacity in teachers through a series of workshops and coaching sessions that target teachers’ professional development in data driven lesson planning and assessment development. The key feature of this series is the completion of anchoring projects embedded in teachers’ daily activities that give them an opportunity to put their learning into practice in real time. Teachers will leave the programme more confident and better equipped to execute their instructional responsibilities. The program concludes with the awarding of a competence statement outlining the knowledge and skills the teacher has acquired over the period.
