The programme “Educational Mentorship and Coaching for STEM Teachers (CPD-CEMCMT)” has two main goals. The first one is to provide SSLs in STEM subjects with the competences needed for guiding and organising effective CPD for their colleagues (teachers) and for promoting reflective practice in their respective schools in order to advance the CBC implementation. The second goal of this programme is to strengthen competences of SSLs in teaching STEM subjects. The programme provides a wide overview of techniques and methods to equip STEM subject leaders with the knowledge and skills to support colleagues in the teaching of STEM subjects.
1. Module 1: Coaching, mentoring and communities of practice
This CPD Certificate Programme on Educational Mentoring and Coaching is designed for STEM SSLs and consists of two modules. In module 1 entitle “Coaching, Mentoring and Communities of Practice”, essential skills for subject leaders such as observing, giving constructive feedback and coaching and mentoring are introduced and practiced.
2. Module 2: Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge in STEM Education
In this Module 2 “Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) in STEM Education”, you will engage with a wide range of aspects of technological pedagogical content knowledge for STEM. Through examples and exercises, you will learn how to apply the various concepts and methods in your lessons and help your peers, especially new teachers, to use them as well. You will get opportunities to try out techniques through micro teaching exercises and practical assignments.
