Professional Development

With education and learning being a state of constant flux, it is important that those in the teaching profession strive constantly to produce the ideal. In creating this website, we used the ideals of 21^st century learning as guidelines to promote the best teaching and learning.

21^st century learning should try to reflect the honest viewpoint of the world as much as possible, human interactions and relationships are complicated and diverse, and as these relationships change and evolve, so much the teaching structure. Positive human relationships must be promoted, as well as the ability to adapt to the changing skill sets acquired in today’s world.

Technology has become a daily factor for most people in our society, and this cannot be ignored in the classroom setting. The ideal situation for teachers is to incorporate technology every day in a way that promotes positive learning and supports the curriculum.

The use of technology can also help the teacher connect the classroom to the outside world, which contributes to the students’ learning on an ongoing basis. Students learn not only from teachers, but also from people, institutions, and the community around them.

Students must not only learn content, but critical thinking skills so as to approach the world around them with open eyes and an open heart, as promoted by UNESCO’s Four Pillars of Education—
