Effective teaching/learning practices are evidence-based teaching strategies implemented with fidelity and informed through data to produce positive, sustained results in every student. - EEF

Teaching Practice

Young people are greatly influenced by their environment. That’s why, at RHA, we seek to make a love of learning contagious. We look for teachers who are enthusiastic about continuing their own education, and who are passionate about seeking better ways to facilitate and inspire learning for students. We believe that educators who find joy and challenge in the pursuit of their own professional growth inspire our students to love learning too.

Peter Drucker, a famous management trainer, wrote that “We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change.” We agree. We’ve found that the best teachers are the ones who are constantly pushing themselves to learn about new research in their field.

Please find below a number of courses that can support your professional development on teaching practice.
