MAW On-line Academy 'Improving Teaching Skills'
The first teacher to complete this course is about to receive her certificate. Will you be the next?
The full MAW Academy’s In-service on-line course 'Improving Teaching Skills', based on MI theory, consists of ten lessons. It is divided into three modules.
Module 1, which consists of three lessons, provides you with a sound understanding of Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, and a basic introduction to other great educationalists who have influenced modern educational methods. From an oral tradition, passed on by leaders of a community, formal education started with book-based whole-class teaching. Towards the end of the last century, the implementation of MI theory in schools led to teachers planning differentiated work for different groups and, most recently, to personalised learning which can be strongly supported by information technology. Module 1 of the course gives you an insight in to how teaching methods have changed over the years, and how the past has influenced current teaching methods.
This knowledge is then developed in Module 2. Lessons 4, 5, 6 and 7 to help you develop your own pedagogical skills. They show you how you can improve your own teaching so that all students in your lessons make the progress they should. The classroom environment is considered, the emphasis on teaching and learning is discussed, formative assessment ideas are put forward and differentiated lesson planning is explained. By the end of Lesson 7 you will have all you need to improve your teaching skills and the outcomes of your students’ learning.
Module 3 Is for Senior Leaders in your school. Lesson 9 is for those who have leadership and management responsibilities. It links those responsibilities to MI theory. Lesson 10 reflects on the role of parents and how your school can develop that partnership with parents.
Ideally, it would be good to work through the lessons in order from 1 to 10, as in each lesson reference is made to what you have learned in previous lessons. However, each of the three modules can be studied on their own.
Log in to MAW On-line Academy and begin Module 1 NOW. The First Five / Four / Three People are being offered the course Free, so you need to be quick if you want to benefit from this offer. Only three free places left!
I look forward to working with you and receiving your answers to the questions at the end of each lesson. I will mark them myself.
