One of the ways to attract competent new teachers is to start right at the beginning – while they’re in school, training to be teachers.
The instruction received through the 1MT platforms does not replace the curriculum from their schools and, except a school decides otherwise, is not assessed as part of their degree requirements, rather it is only intended to give them an edge as they begin their professional careers.
Access will be provided to all 1MT online content – which covers a wide range of knowledge areas in education and pedagogy, personal development, and leadership, English Language Proficiency, ICT, Information literacy (and digital literacy), Competence-Based Curriculum – incorporating cross cutting issues, including problem solving, critical thinking, Peace and Values Education, Gender Education, Inclusive Education, Financial Education & Entrepreneurship, Environment and Sustainability (The Green Teacher), Standardized Culture, Guidance and Counselling, and Assessment. Further, 1MT will continually collaborate with its partners to develop courses for the specific needs of their locations based on identified gaps.
In conjunction with partner, Queen’s University, Canada, 1MT shall collaborate with various institutions across the countries where we operate to carry out joint research activities in areas of teacher training and student learning and other relevant areas to provide evidenced based, actionable information for planning and assessment purposes. We will also collaborate with you to house a Centre for Teaching Excellence within your education faculty to foster the practice of teaching at the basic education level and to serve as a hub for cross fertilization of ideas and professional collaboration.
Queen’s University: The Faculty of Education at Queen’s University formalizes its partnership with 1MT. As part of the partnership agreement, Queen’s Faculty of Education lends its teacher education expertise towards developing program content.
