Come join us at our
newly established Professional Development Institute
which is hosted on the established and well facilitated
campus of SEAMEO RECSAM, which sits right on the east
coast of Penang Island. This one-of-its-kind institute
offers workshops and seminars all year round specifically
for mathematics and science educators in our effort
to attain two pragmatic objectives:
|
|
Support
teaching professionals to progressively integrate
technology in their mathematics and science
instruction. |
|
Manage a learning community for
mathematics and science teachers who are using
technology in their classroom instruction to meet
and exchange ideas with their peers. |
|
Our purpose driven
institute understands that the appropriate integration
of technology in education brings great impact. Innovative
and creative adoption of technology in mathematics
and science education will empower students to practice
self-paced learning and think creatively, immerse
in a rich inquiry-based learning environment.
Join this unique teaching community where continuing
support is provided to address your evolving professional
needs. The institute will encourage you to explore
successful classroom practices where you leave feeling
refreshed and motivated: to
help your students achieve success in mathematics
and science.
