Planning teacher learning

In planning effective teacher education courses and sessions (such as workshops, lectures and seminars), teacher educators should be able to:

  • define teacher learning objectives that are clear, achievable, appropriate given the teachers’ profile and (where relevant) linked to previous courses or sessions
  • identify and select appropriate learning channels (F2F, virtual, hybrid)
  • identify, select, design and adapt appropriate resources (including digital content) and activities to support these objectives
  • organise the course and sessions into coherent and logically ordered stages
  • identify how and when teachers’ skills and knowledge will be assessed
