Happy World Youth Skills Day! 🧒   Today is a reminder of how important it is for young people to be equipped with the skills they need for employment, education and entrepreneurship.   🌍 As the job market evolves, young people need to constantly adapt and update their skill sets.    Proper education and training can help to reduce barriers and ensure young people receive the support they need! 👐   #BritishCouncilPartnerSchools #SupportingQualityEducation #WorldYouthSkillsDay

Diversity is a valuable asset within schools. But too often, teachers with disabilities encounter barriers and challenges. 🚧   So, how can we create more inclusive and equitable environments?    Our detailed report looks at existing policies and guidelines in five countries, and the challenges and experiences of teachers with disabilities.    By analysing current strategies and the gaps that must be addressed, we have come up with recommendations to promote better accessibility for all our teaching professionals.

Receiving feedback on your teaching is an essential part of professional development. 🧑🏫   Being able to self-assess is also a useful skill. 📝   Our self-assessment tool can help you get started. It breaks down different aspects of your teaching practice and highlights the areas you need to focus on.    Once you’ve completed your self-assessment, you’ll also receive a personalised course recommendation to take your training to the next level. ⬆️ Log in to your OSS account to create your own training programme. https://bit.ly/3Lef5Li   #BritishCouncilPartnerSchools #SupportingQualityEducation #TeacherTraining #ProfessionalDevelopment

How often do you take a moment to celebrate success in the classroom? 🎉 Recognising achievements and spotlighting progress, no matter how little, will boost the confidence of learners of all levels.  Equally important is to focus on the  contributions that students make along their learning journey. These may include assisting others, demonstrating leadership and fostering a positive environment for themselves and their classmates. How else do you celebrate success in your classroom? #BritishCouncilPartnerSchools #SupportingQualityEducation #CelebrateSuccess #Recognition

It seems like for everything we do these days, we have to create IDs and passwords. It’s difficult to keep track of all of them, and trying to remember them all is a big challenge! 🤔  Do your students think about the information that they may inadvertently be revealing when choosing screen names or passwords? Remind them that their selection can reveal a lot of private details, so they should choose names and passwords that don’t include things like their names, birthdays, cities etc. Though their choices may seem harmless, they should always check with a trusted adult if in doubt. #BritishCouncilPartnerSchools #SupportingQualityEducation #OnlineSafety #EdTech
