Cambridge Computing

Learning how students can participate in hands-on activities, including programming animations and quizzes, to understand computing concepts better. Teachers are provided with resources such as Scratch code extracts and task-based learning materials to reinforce essential principles.

English written on a wall.

Cambridge First Language English

Trainees will engage with various texts, including fiction, poetry, and non-fiction, exposing them to different communication styles and contexts. This program enhances their ability to communicate effectively and confidently in everyday situations while also instilling critical thinking and creative expression skills in students.

Learn to Carry Assessment in a Cambridge Primary Testing Structure

Accurately measuring a student’s potential and progress can transform learning, enabling educators to make informed decisions about individual learners and their educational needs. Our training design utilises the Cambridge Primary testing structure to assess learner performance and provide meaningful progress reports to students and parents.

Provide Feedback

Frequently Asked Question

What is the focus of the CERT IS program in preparing teachers for English, Math, and Science in the British curriculum?

CERT IS training covers the progression of learning outcomes from primary to lower secondary. For English, it starts with basic literacy and communication skills in primary and builds toward critical thinking and analytical skills in lower secondary. Math instruction progresses from fundamental arithmetic to more complex concepts like algebra and geometry. In Science, teachers learn to guide students from understanding basic scientific concepts to conducting experiments and drawing conclusions.

How does the CERT IS program address the curriculum structure for primary and lower secondary levels?

CERT IS training covers the progression of learning outcomes from primary to lower secondary. For English, it starts with basic literacy and communication skills in primary and builds toward critical thinking and analytical skills in lower secondary. Math instruction progresses from fundamental arithmetic to more complex concepts like algebra and geometry. In Science, teachers learn to guide students from understanding basic scientific concepts to conducting experiments and drawing conclusions.

What assessment strategies does CERT IS emphasise for these subjects?

CERT IS provides training on both formative and summative assessments tailored to each subject. Teachers are encouraged to use formative assessments like quizzes, hands-on tasks, and group discussions for ongoing feedback. Summative assessments, such as unit tests and projects, measure cumulative understanding and application in each subject, and teachers learn how to analyse results to guide future instruction.

What resources and teaching strategies does CERT IS offer to support effective instruction in a British curriculum classroom?

CERT IS provides access to various resources, including curriculum guides, lesson planning templates, and digital learning tools. The program also introduces instructional strategies suited to Cambridge standards, such as differentiation, inquiry-based learning in Science, and problem-solving activities in Math. Teachers receive training in using these resources to engage students effectively and meet varied learning needs.

What specific professional development opportunities does CERT IS provide for English, Math, and Science teachers?

CERT IS includes subject-specific workshops, online modules, and mentoring, focusing on best practices in delivering Cambridge English, Math, and Science curricula. Training covers classroom management, curriculum adaptation, and assessment techniques tailored to British international school contexts. Teachers also learn strategies for integrating critical thinking and collaboration into their lessons.

How can teachers address the diverse needs of students in Cambridge curriculum classrooms across these subjects?

The program emphasises differentiation techniques for each subject area. Teachers learn to adapt instruction with tiered assignments, scaffolded tasks, and group activities. English teachers, for instance, might use reading circles, while Math teachers focus on individualised problem-solving tasks. Science teachers are encouraged to design experiments accommodating different learning paces and abilities.

How does the CERT IS program help teachers prepare students for academic progression in a British curriculum framework?

CERT IS the key skills students need for each stage, preparing teachers to help students transition from primary to lower secondary levels and eventually to upper secondary. By building foundational knowledge and skills in English, Math, and Science, teachers are prepared to help students succeed in advanced levels, including IGCSE and A-Levels, by fostering critical thinking and analytical skills.
