The orientation program at Dara Academy was designed to ensure that new teachers seamlessly integrated into the school's dynamic community and understood its unique values and teaching methodologies. Throughout the week, new teachers engaged in a series of interactive workshops, training sessions, and seminars, offering them a holistic learning experience.
One of the key aspects of the orientation program was the acquisition of new skills. Dara Academy recognizes the importance of keeping up with the ever-evolving educational landscape. To address this reality, the new teachers were provided with specialized training sessions that covered modern teaching techniques, innovative pedagogical approaches, and effective classroom management strategies. The school's experienced faculty members, known for their expertise and dedication, facilitated these sessions, sharing their insights and best practices.
Moreover, cultural training played a significant role in the orientation program, reflecting Dara Academy's commitment to promoting cultural understanding among its teachers and students.
Collaboration and teamwork were also emphasized during the orientation week. Dara Academy believes in the power of collective teaching and learning, valuing the contributions of every educator. Towards the end of the program, the new teachers had the opportunity to collaborate with their Thai counterparts in a unique setting. Together, they observed demonstrations of effective teaching methods and participated in co-teaching activities in the classroom. This collaborative approach fostered an environment of shared learning, where teachers exchanged ideas, refined their skills, and built strong relationships with their colleagues.
As the new teachers embark on their journey at Dara Academy, they do so with a deep sense of purpose and a commitment to the school's vision. They are prepared to inspire young minds, promote cultural appreciation, and contribute to the school's legacy of excellence. With Dara Academy's dedication to nurturing its teachers, the school continues to cultivate a vibrant educational community that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and cultural diversity.
