The College of Teaching is an excellent way to get your preschool teaching certification underway in as little as 6 months. By teaming up with the IPC (International Preschool Curriculum), College of teaching launched an introductory teacher training certification course online which provides an international approach aimed at raising teaching standards around the world.
The College of Teaching platform offers seven distinct modules that are designed for convenience and flexibility. Through the partnership with the IPC, the course is also designed to offer an international perspective while at the same time providing a higher level of teacher training to parts of the world that did not previously have access to high quality early childhood education courses.
The course is widely seen as one of the best value for money options. The full course costs only $250 and includes teacher support, facilitator training by phone or email and an interactive forum which operates much like a social network. The course is designed by an ex teaching fellow of Harvard University and offers a wide overview of all teaching strategies required by established teaching standards. By offering the course at a reduced price, it is hoped that teachers in more deprived parts of the world will have an opportunity to be fully trained and better prepared for a preschool environment.
As a state of the art website platform, the College of Teaching allows students to enroll in courses and experience a sort of social network feel. Each course has a wall where students can ask questions or answer them, upload important documents or communicate with colleagues. It is the College of Teaching's intention that this will represent or mimic the collegial feeling of a land based college and that students can interact and share experiences as well as enjoy the social feel of making friends with teachers around the world.
Although flexibility is one of the most attractive advantages of online teaching, College of Teaching highlights the rolling enrollment which entitles a student to start learning the minute they sign up. There is no need to enroll in specific cohorts or wait for the next academic year to begin. College of Teaching also has other benefits which include discounted IPC membership fees for non- members or free College of Teaching enrollment for teachers from IPC schools. The College of Teaching offers seven unique modules that lead up to the certificate award upon completion. The modules offer a whole rounded approach to preschool teaching. Therefore, modules include subjects such as Early Growth & Development, Professionalism and Literacy.
