QRTA - TEPD - Teacher Education Professional Diploma team held face-to-face awareness sessions with diploma student teachers in the three various regions of the Kingdom. The most important topics discussed in the sessions were introducing the diploma and its requirements, explaining what online learning means, and motivating teachers and encouraging them to actively participate in their learning journey in order to achieve the optimal benefit.
The student teachers, in turn, confirmed that these meetings were enjoyable and useful to them, as they interacted and actively participated in the activities that were carried out. They also expressed their happiness after they had met with their academic advisors from Queen Rania Teacher Academy.
Queen Rania Teacher Academy (QRTA) continues its training programs for 2022 in cooperation with the Jordanian Ministry of Education and with the support of the Canadian government, implementing pedagogy programs for numerous majors – namely Arabic, Science, English, Social Studies, and Math – as well as the Innovation in Education Program, Advanced Instructional Leadership Professional Diploma (AILPD), and Teacher Education Professional Diploma (TEPD).
The Teacher Education Professional Diploma (TEPD) encourages teachers to view the educational environment as more than a classroom, but as a source of creativity, leadership, and intellectual curiosity.
TEPD comprises subjects in the general pedagogies of teaching and learning and in subject-specific pedagogies and ensures the practical application of theoretical frameworks so teachers can provide their students with the skills and knowledge necessary to build a generation that contributes to society and the nation. Participants of TEPD – which this year targets the entire Kingdom - are also trained to manage the learning environment as a space to elevate the competencies and capabilities of students.

Since its inception, QRTA has provided professional learning opportunities for teachers and school leaders, with an outreach of over 100,000 professional development opportunities across its various programs.
