The Queen Rania Teacher Academy Forum 2023

Revitalize the Learning Experience to Reignite Inspiration and Passion

 


About the Forum

In today's educational landscape, it is disheartening to witness the prevailing notion that learning is boring and students lack motivation. This sentiment reflects a significant gap between what students truly need and what traditional school systems currently offer. As educators and stakeholders, it is crucial to address this disparity and find effective ways to prepare teachers in reigniting the spark of learning within their students.

To bridge the divide between teachers and students, as well as between principals and students, a comprehensive approach is required. QRTA Forum for 2023   aims to explore innovative strategies and initiatives that can narrow this enormous gap and create an environment where students are inspired, engaged, and motivated to learn again.

The primary focus will be on preparing teachers to become catalysts for positive change in the learning environment. By equipping educators with the necessary tools, skills, and methodologies, we aim to empower them to reignite the passion for learning among their students. Furthermore, we will also delve into the crucial role that leaders play in fostering a supportive and conducive learning environment within schools. By doing so, we can create an educational ecosystem that not only meets the needs of today's learners but also inspires them to become lifelong learners.

The forum seeks to empower educators, school principals, and policymakers to collaborate, innovate, and shape the future of learning. By focusing on fostering inspiration, enhancing relevance, promoting collaboration, informing policy, and exploring the future of education, this forum aims to ignite a renewed passion for teaching and learning, ultimately ensuring that students are prepared for success in an ever-changing world.
