A collaborative effort between the GNAT-Canada Teachers Federation and the FCE, has provided approximately 200 teachers from the Western and Western North Regions the opportunity to complete an in-service training programme.
The aim of the training was to enhance their abilities to deliver more effectively within the classroom setting.
During the training, the teachers received instruction in various subject areas, including class management, gender and culture, technology education, and inclusiveness.
The program coordinator, Mr. Ernest Asamoah, highlighted the longstanding partnership between GNAT-Canada, spanning an impressive 63 years of successful engagement and knowledge exchange.
He urged all teachers to utilize the acquired knowledge and share it with their colleagues, thereby contributing to the enhancement of quality education in their schools.
Furthermore, Mr. Asamoah emphasized that the training would provide the participating teachers with two additional points in their yearly assessment program, underscoring the importance of continuous professional development.
The Team Lead for Canada, Ms. Julia Degirolamo, recognized the significance of international projects as valuable tools for exchanging ideas and furthering global education objectives.
She, therefore, entreated the participants to use the new skills acquired to innovate change in the classroom…” leadership roles must well be seen from now”.
Mrs Sally Nelly Coleman, the Metro Director of Education praised GNAT for such projects and programmes which equipped the teacher to live up to his or her best.
She noted how the GNAT had contributed to her professional development and growth and encouraged the teachers to effectively take part in all its activities to improve their course.
