The European Azerbaijan School (EAS), as part of its ongoing collaboration with other secondary and higher education institutions in Baku, organizes various joint initiatives. As the next manifestation of this collaboration, in October, the Director of EAS, Francesco Banchini, initiated a series of training sessions on the topic of "IB Training for students" in Baku Slavic University and Azerbaijan University of Languages. The main purpose of these training courses is to develop a professional teaching profile based on the fundamental requirements and standards of the IB curriculum. The training aims to educate prospective teachers on the application of methods and tools introduced by the IB curriculum to organize the teaching and learning process effectively. This includes strategies, methods, and tools used to create a high-quality learning environment, enabling teachers to enhance the quality of education.
The series of training sessions on "IB Training for students," organized in collaboration with various higher education institutions by the European Azerbaijan School, aim to cultivate highly skilled teachers, fostering professionalism in the field of education. These training sessions are designed to help enhance the skills and professional abilities of teacher candidates, ultimately contributing to the creation of a more effective and beneficial learning and teaching environment for students.
