Short Session Description (one line): Preparing teachers to teach online International Baccalaureate courses
Full Session Description (as long as you would like):
This session will focus on essential strategies for training face-to-face classroom practitioners with little to no online teaching experience, so that they can join a world-wide community of part-time online teachers and share responsibility for instructing international students in two-year global classrooms.
This is a question and answer session built around some simple but provocative “What would you do if?” scenarios that focus on significant training challenges. Participants will be asked to share their own insights and recommendations to specific scenarios, and offer their feedback on the strategies that Pamoja Education (PJE) are currently using to serve the needs of a growing two-year, international secondary online program.
