Diplomas and Pedagogy Programs Offered by QRTA in Collaboration with the Jordanian Ministry of Education and Canadian Government for 2023

TEPD - GAC - The Teacher Education Professional Diploma program began with an orientation day for new student teachers, which included an overview of the program's learning journey, structure, content, and main themes. Following the orientation, each Academic Advisor held a meeting with their student teachers to introduce themselves, clarify any upcoming learning points, and address any questions.

In cooperation with the Jordanian Ministry of Education and with the support of the Canadian government, the Queen Rania Teacher Academy (QRTA) is offering a range of training programs in 2023, including pedagogy programs for majors such as Arabic, Science, English, Social Studies, and Math. In addition, QRTA is implementing the Innovation in Education Program, as well as advanced instructional leadership and teacher education professional diploma programs.

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.

QRTA offers innovative and evidence-based professional development programs informed by international best practices and the latest research in the field. 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.
