Professional Learning Programme (PLP@SCHOOL)

Overview

As Key Personnel and Teacher Leaders of the English Language (EL) department of a school, you will co-decide and co-select the shared learning focus for your department from ELIS’s suite of flagship PLPs@School. PLPs@School are designed to enable all in your EL department to teach EL more effectively. You will co-lead your department in applying the learning and inquiring into classroom application.

There are three areas of support your EL department can look forward to from a Master Teacher/EL (MTT/EL):

Your EL department will choose one of the following two areas of learning, (a) or (b):

1. learning about e-pedagogy and blended learning for the enactment of participatory, connected and reflective EL classrooms
   
   Your EL department members will deepen their understanding of the principles of e-pedagogy and blended learning. They will learn about the practice of teaching with technology to design lessons for students to achieve the intended learning outcomes in blended learning contexts.
