About the learning series
Teaching and Learning Educators’ Network for Transformation (TALENT) is organizing an interactive learning series on teaching and learning 21st Century skills facilitated through the UNESCO’s International Institute for Educational Planning Learning Portal. The objective of the learning series is to increase participants’ knowledge on key concepts related to teaching and assessing 21st Century skills and share experiences to gather additional promising practices for the integration of 21st Century skills in the curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, and policy and planning cycles. The learning series is funded through the Global Partnership for Education's Assessment for Learning (A4L) Initiative.
How it works
This three-part series will take place during the months of October and November 2020.
Each session will include a selection of presentations by national and international experts followed by a Q&A session with participants.
The webinars will be supported by an online discussion forum which will allow participants to exchange and discuss prior to and proceeding each live webinar session. Complementary readings and learning tasks will be shared with participants before each session.
The webinars will be conducted in both French and English with simultaneous interpretation in the other language.
Recordings of the webinars will be made available through the IIEP Learning Portal and TALENT websites.
