About the teacher training centre
Do you want an online professional development course, no matter where you are in the world?
The IH Online Teacher Training Institute (OTTI) is the teacher training wing of International House World Organisation. We provide online professional development courses for EFL teachers around the world. We have courses for every stage of a teacher’s career, from soon after your initial qualification to DELTA level and management courses.
Learning online gives you the flexibility to set your own study hours and save money on travel and accommodation.
On our courses you can ‘attend’ whenever (and wherever!) is convenient for you. You don't usually have to attend a live chat or webinar at a specific time, although sometimes there are live "meetups" so you have the chance to chat with your tutor and other classmates.
To help you there is ongoing support from your tutors in online forums and through individual feedback - and you'll probably find your other course participants are really helpful as well. You are definitely not studying alone, and this tutor and peer support is what our trainees say they like most about our courses.
Observation and Giving Feedback
This highly practical, online course will give you the skills and strategies you need to manage observation and feedback successfully in your school.
During the six week course we will:
- consider and define the role of observation in your school
- arrive at a definition of what constitutes effective teaching in your context
- explore different observation types and their validity in your context
- explore different ways of giving oral and written feedback to your teachers
- examine how to integrate observation into your organisation
Assessment is through a portfolio.
