Teacher Training during Winter Holidays

During the winter break, ORT School organized crash training courses and teacher meetings at both campuses, with the aim of strengthening and improving the teaching-learning processes.

Some training issues stood out, among which we can mention the project on “Teaching for Understanding”, by ‘Latitud’ Educational Consultancy of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and the training on the development of educational resources by the CREA (Teaching and Learning Resources Center). At the same time, the students’ counselors introduced various training projects to continuously improve our students’ follow-up and monitoring processes.
