.
The meeting focussed on addressing a variety of teachers needs, specifically seeking their advice about creating 'on island' professional development programmes that focus on helping develop our own capacity but also that could gain internationally recognised accreditation. This would be of much more value to teachers and could, in some cases, contribute to Masters and other qualifications.
.
Whilst this work is at an exploratory stage it is a key priority of both the Ministry and Department of Education Services. Watch this space! (GL)
