MODULE 2: LEARNING SKILLS AND LEARNER AGENCY
International education develops not only what learners know, but also how they think, communicate, investigate, collaborate and manage themselves. This module examines how educators can make these learning processes explicit and teachable. Participants will explore practical techniques for developing the five interconnected learning-skill categories and learn how these skills create the capacity required for learner agency. The module concludes by showing how educators can gradually transfer appropriate learning decisions to students through voice, choice, ownership and responsible action.

MODULE 3: INQUIRY-BASED TEACHING AND LEARNING
Learn how to transform curiosity into meaningful learning. This module covers the inquiry process, different levels of inquiry, provocations, questioning techniques and strategies that help students investigate, discuss, discover and construct understanding.

MODULE 4: ASSESSMENT-INFORMED TEACHING
Assessment in an international classroom is integrated with planning, teaching, feedback and learner reflection. Its purpose extends beyond measuring achievement at the end of learning. Educators collect evidence throughout the learning process to identify prior understanding, uncover misconceptions, monitor progress, provide feedback, adjust instruction and determine the learner’s next step. This module prepares educators to design balanced and authentic assessment systems that measure knowledge, conceptual understanding, skills and application. Participants will learn how to use formative assessment, self-assessment, peer assessment, performance tasks, rubrics and feedback to support learning and make informed instructional decisions.

MODULE 5: CONCEPT-DRIVEN AND CONTEXTUAL LEARNING
Move beyond teaching isolated facts and help students develop transferable understanding. Participants will learn how to identify important concepts, frame conceptual questions and connect classroom learning with relevant local, global and real-world contexts.

MODULE 6: INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING AND UNIT PLANNING
Learn how to design connected learning experiences across subjects and disciplines. Participants will use backward planning to align concepts, learning outcomes, activities, resources and assessments within a structured international school-style unit plan.

MODULE 7: COLLABORATIVE, INCLUSIVE AND DIFFERENTIATED CLASSROOMS
Create classrooms where every learner can participate and progress. Participants will explore collaborative learning structures, flexible grouping, scaffolding and practical ways to differentiate content, process, support and learning products.

MODULE 8: INTERNATIONAL CLASSROOM PRACTICE AND FINAL PRACTICUM
Bring all the program learning together through practical classroom application. Participants will develop an inquiry-led unit plan, design an assessment task, conduct a short lesson demonstration and reflect on their readiness to facilitate an international school classroom.
