of professional development programmes for class teachers and school leaders. Using an innovative, learner-led delivery model, QHC are able to give teachers and leaders the opportunity to develop their skills and enhance their practice in a way that fits around their day-to-day work, while also ensuring they access the highest standard of CPD materials.
The premise is simple. First, simply choose which QHC development programme you want to follow:
Second, begin working your way through the programme. Each programme is divided into either six or eight easy-to-use courses, each focussing on a different topic. Every course contains separate units, helping you to develop your practice step-by-step. They begin with carefully constructed stimulus material and reflection questions, helping you to think critically about your existing practice. Then, there are opportunities for you to plan and teach lessons, or conduct leadership activities, which let you put theory into action. Finally, you can reflect on the progress you’ve made, as well as what could still be developed, and think creatively about the impact of your efforts on your learners.
Third, receive regular feedback and support from the QHC team. They will review your answers to reflection questions, your lesson planning documents, and your evaluations of your teaching or leadership activities. This way, they can continue to offer you personalised, expert support throughout the programme, ensuring you reach the highest standards in your practice before signing off your efforts and recording your achievements. This is a CPD model that puts the learner centre-stage. It is flipped learning for professionals, giving teachers and leaders the right support, at the right time, in a way that works for them.
QHC’s online portal makes accessing your CPD programmes simple and hassle free. There is also an app – MyQHC – that lets users access materials via mobile, when on the move, giving maximum flexibility. You can access your CPD portfolio anywhere and at any time, allowing you to weave your professional development into your working life.
Along with these innovations, QHC is also proud to say that all of the CPD programmes are available in both Arabic and English, giving users the opportunity to learn, grow and develop through their language of choice. Once again, this emphasises QHC’s commitment to giving teachers and leaders the greatest amount of flexibility when it comes to taking control of their own professional development.
All in all, QHC’s CPD programmes present today’s teachers with the perfect tool for developing and enhancing their practice. Written by experts, supported by experts and designed to meet the needs of busy, hard-working professionals, whether they are classroom teachers or school leaders, these programmes are what you and your school need to help take student learning, and student outcomes, to the next level.
