Go Global. Teach.Academic excellence that adapts to changing education environment.

The Cambridge International Diploma in Teaching and Learning is built on a spiral of learning and development of the first module, The Cambridge International Certificate in Teaching & Learning. The Diploma critically engages with the principles and concepts of teaching and learning to improve the participants’ effectiveness as teachers and enhances their knowledge, skills and understanding to develop inclusive approaches to teaching and learning. By reflecting on and evaluating the experiences in each module, further areas for development are identified, and the cycle begins again, this time incorporating new understanding and capabilities, resulting in higher-quality teaching.

Module 2

In this module, a candidate will explore their teaching practice, and in particular the impact it has on their learners’ learning. This will be explored more deeply and critically than in Module 1 as part of a spiral of learning. The focus of a candidate’s learning and subsequent assessment is primarily based on the candidate.

Module 3

In this module candidates will engage in a practitioner inquiry to develop one aspect of their classroom practice that requires improvement. The process is simpler than traditional ‘action research’ and can be aligned with what is also known as ‘reflective analysis’ or ‘evidence-based practice’.
