A total of 12 Supervisors from Abu Dhabi Education Zone participated in the programme, which was designed by the British Council to support the existing teacher training activity, and to update all trainers in the Emirate who are already delivering teacher training to teachers in government schools.
The training sessions covered a range of topics from 'Classroom Management' and 'Giving Instructions' to 'Motivating Students' and 'Teaching Grammar'.
Paul Sellers, Director, British Council explains: "The trainer training session built on their current skills, which will in turn help trainers to design their own sessions in the future. During the course, they were asked to work in small groups to design their own teacher training session, which involved the trainers doing their own research work. All the trainers left the course with at least five 'ready made' teacher training sessions, which can be adapted to meet the needs of their own situation."
