August Forel International School™ provides regular
training and seminars for its staff. It is important that our effort should be a
joint effort including all the staff, providing them with the tools and
confidence required to carry out their functions.
Some of our training seminars for the teachers are designed to help staff
members define the core, shared values they have in common, to discuss what
those values should mean in action, and to encourage the development of
character through instructional methodologies that promote ethical awareness in
children.
To accomplish this, we offer workshops that bring teachers, administrators,
and support staff together. Participants learn:
These workshops not only serve as a springboard for implementing ethics into
the daily curriculum, but as a possibility for dialogue about the tough ethical
challenges educators often face, but rarely have an opportunity to discuss with
colleagues.
Teachers will also participate in workshops in which they study the
significance and application of new learning material and findings, carefully
chosen from a global curriculum. It is our goal to help our staff be informed
and involved in the ongoing developments in the area of education and the
related academic fields.
