1- British Council Teacher Training Workshops
During October we carried out teacher training in Kenitra and Sidi Slimane, for middle and high school teachers. One of the great parts of this training is that teachers are actively involved - all the participants benefited from contributing to the workshops and we hope that this is a great help with your professional development. Many thanks to Omar Marzouki and Kamal Zerhari for organizing this, and to all the teachers involved.
During November and December there will be training in the following areas:
- Sidi Kacem
- Taza
- Beni Mellal
Please contact you local supervisor if you would like to have British Council teacher training in your area!
