NCERD launches online professional development programme for teachers

Looking to give e d u c a t o r s a platform where they can continue their professional development, the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD) on Friday launched, for the first time, an Online Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Programme for all teachers.

During a virtual launch, Director of NCERD, QuenitaWalrond-Lewis said that the CPD will give teachers at every level: nursery, primary and secondary, the experience to lean on their autonomy and consider their professional practice. She said that professional development forteachersisnecessary.

“It means that you are continually giving yourself opportunities to improve your practice over time Anyone and everyone r e g a r d l e s s o f y o u r experience in the education system, whether you've just joined the profession or you'vebeenintheprofession for30yearscanbenefitfrom continuous professional d e v e l o p m e n t , ” M s Walrond-Lewisnoted.

According to her in developing this programme, the team at NCERD underwent six months of intense training and preparation to be able to bringthecoursestoteachers. She said that the team had to undergo training in learning design and instructional design.

Walrond –Lewis said too that the instructors learned how to technically operate within the Moodle space as well as think about the end user, and teachers, and how they could design course offerings that are engaging andinteractive.

TheDirectorsaidthatthe programme is very flexible, teachers can learn at their own pace, whether it is after workorontheweekend.

Speaking briefly about the programme, Design Consultant of the CPD, Dr. SchontalMooresaidthatshe was able to help the team at NCERDdevelop,designand delivercourses.

She said this process took six months of continuous work in a purely online environment addressing how to convert a course from a face-to-face modality to be delivered online.

She said that each officer hadtoanalyzetheircoursein terms of how to convert the materialsforeffectiveonline delivery before they began the design and development of the actual online course. At the end of the six months, 24coursesweredeveloped.

Chief Education Officer (CEO), Saddam Hussain, in his remarks stated that the start of the CPD is a historical moment in the EducationSysteminGuyana and it is something that had been 12 years in the making.

HesaidthattheMinistrywill be partnering with the Guyana Teachers' Union (GTU) so that the CPD can benefiteveryteacher According to him, in the new week, the Education Systems Committee will meet and decide on several matters as it relates to the CPD He said that the Ministry hopes to connect the CPD to the senior promotion system, the issuance of permanent certificates from CPCE and to use the CPD as a pathway for crediting the master teacherprocess.

The CEO also urged all mathematics teachers at the secondary level to enroll in the Secondary Teachers of MathUpgradingProgramme on the CPD platform. He said that teachers should complete this course by May ofthisyear

M e a n w h i l e , t h e Secretary-General of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Office – Guyana, Dr Olato Sam said that “We embrace the idea that teachers upon e x i t i n g C P C E a n d completing their initial training are not trained for life.

And so, continuous professional development provides the wherewithal for them to expand their scope, on their skills, and recognize and incorporate more contemporary ideas, concepts, and approaches to their pedagogy and developmentaseducators.”

Expressing gratitude to NECERD, Deputy General Secretary of the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU), H e a t h c l i f f P e t e r s , encouraged teachers to take a d v a n t a g e o f t h e opportunities provided by NCERD.
