Welcome to this 21st Century Course for Teachers

In the  20th century, we experienced a teacher-centered type of teaching where the teacher was the giver of knowledge and where students sat in rows of desks to listen, take notes and memorize.

In this 21st century, there are many transformations in education that have taken place, which need teachers to shift from teacher-centeredness to learner-centredness, changing our roles to becoming facilitators. It all starts with the skills we want our learners to get, how they get them and how they will benefit them.

Technology in the classroom is one enabler to improve student learning in many ways. It involves making students talk about what they are learning, share with others, collaborate and apply everything in their daily life to solve problems. These are 21st-century learner skills.

This 4-week online course will help school teachers, instructors, educators to improve your teaching practices. It has topics that will help you change and become a 21st-century teacher. The content is designed to cater to the diverse participants from Africa, with examples from live classrooms in Tanzania.

Incentives to Successful Participants

• All participants who successfully complete all activities will be awarded certificates of completion.
• Guidance on how to create learning communities after the end of the course.
• Participate in creating resources to share with other teachers
• Become a facilitator of online courses we can develop together
