In-service Training For Teachers
The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, the great teacher inspires, be a great teacher
Effective teaching and professional development is important for student achievement. Training teachers is a process that promotes teachers teaching skills, master new knowledge, develop new proficiency, which in turn, help improve students learning. At ATOM, we train teachers and provide many opportunities for teachers to spend time with students in real classrooms under the supervision of an experienced mentor.
A great teacher is critical to student achievement. So, how does a teacher become great? Just like the training required for any specialized profession, teachers must train. They must train before they enter the classroom, and they must receive ongoing training even as they work in the classroom. From college with certification coursework to student teaching to ongoing professional development (PD), teachers are continuously training during their career.
All this training gives new teachers the greatest chance of success as well as sustain veteran teachers as they meet new challenges in education. When this training does not happen, there is a risk that teachers may leave the profession early. The other concern is that when training is insufficient, students will suffer.
It comprises a series of different training activities with the aim of providing tools and resources that help lecturers to innovate in their work and to update and improve teaching.
The training activities are divided into the following categories:
- Initial training
- Continuing education
- Language training

- Specific and institutional training
- Self-training
