KMIDS
New Teacher Training Course

Learning Guide

As a STEM based school our vision is to support teachers and create a school where “educational technology” helps to:

  • Deliver more engaging lessons
  • Support project based learning
  • Promote collaboration, creativity, communication, critical thinking
  • Prepare students for the rapidly changing 21st Century
  • Be independent, discriminating and reflective when choosing when to use technology
  • Understand and Integrate Digital Citizenship into their lessons

KMIDS Teachers are committed to ensure students are fully engaged in their learning and use ICT to support this aim. The School hopes to provide many professional development opportunities for teachers to ensure they are kept up to date with the best ICT tools.
