Our Guiding Principles

Learning
Our trainings first and foremost focus on the process of learning. By understanding factors that affect learning among individuals, we believe teachers can make more effective decisions.
Teaching
We view teaching as a decision-making process in which teachers consider various options to facilitate the learning process. Rather than viewing teaching as a prescribed set of techniques, we see teaching as a dynamic engagement between individuals learners and teachers.
An experiential hands-on approach
Much of our approach is based on theories of experiential learning. In workshops, participants engage in activities and reflect on their own classroom experiences so as to develop their own theories. These ideas are then complemented by theory from experts in the field.
Reflective practice
Teachers learn by doing and reflecting upon their own experiences and beliefs about teaching and learning. Developing reflective skills enables teachers to make informed intelligent decisions for the classroom and empowers them as they work on their own practice.
