Advanced Teaching Programme

Innovative approaches to professional growth from across the world

Every teacher wants to get better. Every teacher wants to improve their practice. And every teacher wants to have the best impact possible on their learners. So what can individual teachers and school leaders do to fulfil these lofty goals? The answer is to take part in QHC’s expertly designed Advanced Teaching Programme. A bespoke, tailored CPD pathway built and crafted to help skilled teachers become teaching and learning specialists, trailblazing new approaches and innovative strategies in their classrooms and beyond.

The Advanced Teacher Programme represents a paradigm shift in professional learning, giving teachers and leaders in the Kingdom of Bahrain, GCC, and the world a tool through which to take teaching and learning to the next level. Comprising six individually designed courses, the programme helps teachers to unlock higher-level skills, knowledge and understanding. By taking part in the programme, teachers grow their abilities in six key areas:

Giving Effective Feedback
Embedding Metacognition and Learner Self-Regulation
Unlocking the Impact of Growth Mindsets
Creating Independent Learners
Using Classroom Talk to Facilitate Critical and Creative Discussion
Innovative Approaches to Lesson Planning

Recognising that teaching is a hands-on job, the Advanced Teaching Programme makes a virtue of extensive practical guidance, including repeated opportunities for teachers to apply strategies, activities and techniques in their own classrooms. Using the tried and tested development cycle of new learning, practical application and critical reflection, each individual course is structured so teachers can rapidly develop new knowledge and skills, at the same time as they come to better understand their own approach to teaching.

QHC’s Advanced Teaching Programme gives teachers and schools across Bahrain, GCC, and the world, the opportunity to take teaching and learning to the next level; to innovate, to advance and to excel.
