Professional Development

Recognizing the pivotal role of our educators, we prioritize their professional development and growth, empowering them to become even more effective and inspiring teachers, ultimately benefiting our students and contributing to our overall success. This is achieved through:

  1. Trainings and workshops: EEP’s central professional development department regularly organizes workshops and training sessions, allowing educators to learn the most updated teaching strategies, enhance their skills, and collaborate with fellow educators across the EEP network of schools.
  2. Online courses: Our educators have access to online courses through a variety of platforms, with learning materials tailored to each educator’s strengths and areas of development.
  3. Job shadowing: This allows teachers to gain hands-on experience by observing a proficient educator from across EEP schools as they work to learn about teaching best practices, offering a valuable opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge.
  4. In-class observations: EEP’s Central Education Unit (CEU) conducts regular in-class observations to offer teachers a valuable opportunity to refine their pedagogical practices and enhance student learning. This helps assess teacher effectiveness and provide targeted professional development opportunities. 
  5. Access to conferences: Our educators have access to renowned local and international conferences, allowing them to gain valuable experience, learn about best practices, and stay abreast of all the trends in education. 
  6. Grow Our Own program: Through this signature program, EEP identifies and supports exceptional co-teachers, providing them with the opportunity to earn the prestigious International Postgraduate Secondary Education certificate. This empowers co-teachers to give their best and constantly seek growth and development. 
  7. Champions program: EEP is always on the lookout for exceptional and well-versed teachers within the network to share their knowledge and expertise with their peers through dedicated sessions and workshops. This gives our educators the chance to collaborate, learn from each other, and continue developing and growing professionally.
