(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The second annual Teaching and Learning Forum, organised by Qatar Foundation (QF), will be held today.
The Forum, organised by the Education Development Institute (EDI), will take place at Qatar National Convention Centre.
The event is part of QF's wider professional development programme to further develop teachers' leadership skills within and outside the classroom. It will bring together nearly 1,000 teachers from different schools around Qatar, providing them with the opportunity to share knowledge, opinions and ideas with other attendees.
The forum aims to empower teachers across the country to unlock the potential of students, thereby fulfilling the Qatar National Vision 2030 to transform the country into a knowledge-based economy.
The one-day event will feature 80 workshops with discussions centred on four distinct themes: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics; Early Childhood Education; Innovation and Practice Using Technological or Non-Technological Techniques; and Innovation and Practice in Arabic Language.
Sir Ken Robinson, a prominent international speaker in the development of education, creativity and innovation, will deliver the keynote speech on 'Leading a Culture of Innovation' at the opening session.
Sheikha Noof Ahmed bin Saif Al Thani, Director of Institutional Development at QF's Pre-University Education Office, said: "Teachers can serve as powerful advocates for children and young people. We want to support the growth of educators to help participants reach their full potential.
"Therefore, this forum aims to fulfil this mission by providing the educators with the platform to exchange information, expertise and new teaching methods while promoting professional development and lifelong learning. By fostering excellence, we are working hand-in-hand with QF to support its mission of unlocking human potential for the benefit of the whole community".
