Description

Teaching is not just about delivering content—it requires strong leadership, clear communication, strategic time management, and the ability to foster trust and teamwork among students, as well as run effective and purposeful meetings with colleagues. In today’s demanding educational environment, these soft skills are essential to creating a cohesive and effective school culture.

This practical course is designed to help teachers and school staff build core professional competencies, including effective communication, facilitation techniques, time management, conflict resolution, and teamwork. Participants will engage in interactive workshops, structured discussions, and scenario-based exercises to explore how to lead more effectively, manage workload demands, and navigate challenging interpersonal dynamics.

You’ll reflect on your leadership style, communication habits, and time-management skills to coordinate more efficiently with colleagues and lead meetings or groups with confidence.

  • Apply time management techniques to structure daily and weekly tasks effectively
  • Facilitate group discussions or meetings with clear objectives and participation
  • Resolve or de-escalate professional conflicts using appropriate communication strategies

Methodology & assessment
