Teacher & University Faculty Professional Development

Under the umbrella of STEM PD, Teacher & Faculty PD collaborated with partners such as Chevron Corporation, the Graduate School of Education (GSE) at the University of Pennsylvania, and Michigan State University. These partners share a common vision and offer diverse expertise, emphasising that building the capacity of teachers is foundational to fostering regional development and leaving a lasting impact on the future. The programme specifically targets faculty members by offering ‘teaching methods courses,’ which highlight various instructional strategies and techniques for educators. Its strategies and objectives are also aligned with different government priorities, contributing to the development of curriculum guides for broader implementation.
