New figures released by Nord Anglia Education show an increase in teachers turning to the organisation’s professional development platform, Nord Anglia University (NAU) to enhance the classroom learning environment for students.
Taken from 10,000 in 32 countries, including Qatar, the analysis found courses that sharpened teaching skills were the most popular and accounted for 62% of all online learning sessions between May 2021 and October 2021. In contrast, between September 2020 and April 2021 teaching skills made up 51% of all learning sessions on NAU.
NAU contains thousands of learning resources designed to support teachers’ continued professional development and connect them with peers across Nord Anglia’s global network of schools. Using the best in AI to personalise the learning experience, the platform promotes collaboration and the sharing of best practice in teaching, wellbeing, and career management with teachers forming community groups online.
In September this year, the Learning and Performance Institute (LPI) awarded Nord Anglia University formal accreditation for the third year running for the quality of its professional development programme. The LPI also commended Nord Anglia as an organisation that ‘continually learns and improves’.
Dr Elise Ecoff, Group Education Director, Nord Anglia Education, said: “It’s great to see how education technology is a transformative tool for professional development and helps teachers continue to deepen their knowledge and access learning wherever they’re teaching in the world. At Nord Anglia, encouraging a culture of continuous improvement is at the very heart of our mission to ensure the best learning outcomes for our students.”
The blog highlights the transformative power of physical activity, emphasizing how it boosts energy, focus, and mental well-being. At Compass International School, promoting an active lifestyle is integral to fostering both physical and emotional health, which in turn enhances students' academic performance. The new initiative, Kickstart Kilometre, invites the school community to walk or jog together every Thursday morning, kickstarting their day with positive energy and improved focus. This approach aims to inspire a balanced lifestyle that helps manage stress and supports overall success in both academics and life.
