T-trainβ
New types and modes of training to be explored to meet professional development needs |
COTAP is gauging the professional development needs of teachers and school leaders, including their preferred training types and modes, under T-datasetPD. Based on the outcomes, new types and modes of programmes would be developed and experimented under T-trainβ. Consideration could also be given, under T-trainβ, to explore incentive measures to encourage teachers to undertake Continuing Professional Development.
E-learning mode blended with face-to-face tuition has been implemented in the Induction Programme for Newly Appointed Principals for more effective and efficient delivery. “Programme for Leadership Enhancement for Serving Principals/ Vice-Principals” has provided an opportunity for attachment to the non-education sector to broaden the horizon of principals/ vice-principals.
The "Finland Attachment Programme 2016/17" was another pilot programme developed to broaden the horizons and build the capacity of teachers and school leaders through overseas study visit and school attachment.
