Who is the course for?
This course is for teachers who want to become teacher trainers. Even if you don't want to become a teacher trainer but would like to investigate how professional education works, this course is for you.
How will the face-to-face course work?
This version of the course will take place in São Paulo as an intensive, 5-day course.
Is the online course the same as the face-to-face?
Yes and no. (This is a common answer you'll get in this course!)
What will I learn in the two modules?
This is a very comprehensive course and we see it as the beginning of your career in teacher development. In a nutshell: you will learn the most important strategies to help teachers develop professionally such as how to give feedback, plan development sessions, help teachers design personal development plans and much, much more.
Who are the tutors?
Each edition features a main course tutor, who is responsible for the organisation of the course, and a number of guest tutors. For the 2021/22 editions of the Troika Teacher Trainers, tutors include: Isabela Villas Boas, Letícia Moraes, Mônica Freire, Paulo Dantas and special guests ;)
How will the online course work?
We have redesigned the Troika Teacher Trainer learning experience so you can take the course from your home, taking into account the particularities of an online environment. The online course includes both live sessions (every other week, on Saturdays from 4:30 to 6:30) over the course of 20 weeks and self-study moments.
What's the difference between the Teacher Trainers and the Teacher Trainers Leadership?
The focus of these modules is different. While the Troika Teacher Trainers focuses on professional development, lesson observation, session planning, giving feedback and other aspects of teacher development, the Leadership Edition focuses on leadership skills: what instructional and educational leadership are; educational leadership competencies and how to develop them, and the main challenges faced by educational leaders.
Do I need to take the two modules?
Not necessarily, but ideally, yes. Each module focuses on specific skills for advanced professional development in language education and we are sure you will benefit from both.
Can I choose the order in which I take the modules?
Absolutely! While the content of one module complements the other, they can be taken in any order.
"I couldn't have been prouder to have taken this course. It was absolutely amazing! Every single detail was visibly thought through, all the sessions were delightfully thought-provoking"
