May 17-18

ICET 2021 is a virtual event that brings together speakers and audiences from various locations. Presentations will be delivered virtually on the video conference platform.

Mr. James Thorton, British Consul-General of Erbil is delivering a keynote address on behalf of the British Embassy Baghdad and British Consulate General Erbil.
Keynote presentations will be delivered by Peter Lucantoni, Professional Learning and Development Manager (MENA), from Cambridge University Press and Kim Insley from University College London, Institute of Education.

ICET 2021 Theme:

“Empowering Education & Classroom Experience in the Post-covid World.”

All sides of educational operations are longing for pre-pandemic normals of education. Although it is an expected and understandable motive after a challenging period for all stakeholders of education, it seems that nothing would be the same in a post-pandemic classroom experience. Now it is time for all educators and educational institutions to maintain and adapt the lessons learned from these difficult times to better educational services and provisions so that education rises stronger from this crisis.

This crisis taught us once again that the learner and learning are at the center of educational provisions, and there are and should be various ways and tools to reach individual learners. A post-pandemic classroom should definitely be endorsed with rich interactive patterns through digital and hands-on activities that take teaching away from teacher-centered lecturing to a student-centered interactive process.

The crisis also emphasized once again the importance of effective educational leadership and teacher professional development. We believe that these challenging times underlined the fact that teachers are and should be lifelong learners who can adapt to changes and requirements in the new world.

ICET 2021 will explore opportunities and perspectives for teacher professional development and educational leadership that will contribute to ongoing progress in education in the Post-covid World.

Who should attend:

This conference will primarily be of interest to:

  • those in teaching and leadership positions in public and private schools and colleges
  • candidate teachers and aspiring educational leaders
  • those with an interest in international education, teacher professional development and educational leadership
  • Ministry or government representatives tasked with improving the educational services of the community

Teacher trainers, educational experts, and community leaders from the national and international community will be at ICET 2021

  • To explore new opportunities and perspectives to improve the learning experience in the classroom
  • To raise awareness for institutional and professional development in education
  • To help teachers and school leaders broaden their experiences
  • To offer networking opportunities for all those attending the event – trainers, academicians, community leaders, and representatives of for-and non-profit organizations as well as government officials
  • To provide a shared platform for diverse opinions in order to adapt educational services to the needs of a new era

ICET 2021

17-18 مايو

ICET 2021 هو حدث افتراضي يجمع بين المتحدثين والجماهير من مواقع مختلفة. سيتم تقديم العروض التقديمية افتراضيًا على منصة مؤتمرات الفيديو.

السيد جيمس ثورتون ، القنصل البريطاني العام في أربيل يلقي كلمة رئيسية نيابة عن السفارة البريطانية في بغداد والقنصلية البريطانية العامة في أربيل.
سيتم تقديم العروض الرئيسية من قبل بيتر لوكانتوني ، مدير التعلم والتطوير المهني (MENA) ، من مطبعة جامعة كامبريدج وكيم إنسلي من جامعة كوليدج لندن ، معهد التعليم.

موضوع ICET 2021:

“تمكين التعليم وتجربة الفصل الدراسي في عالم ما بعد كوفيد.”

تتوق جميع جوانب العمليات التعليمية إلى قواعد التعليم السابقة للوباء. على الرغم من أنه دافع متوقع ومفهوم بعد فترة صعبة لجميع أصحاب المصلحة في التعليم ، يبدو أنه لا يوجد شيء سيكون كما هو في تجربة الفصول الدراسية بعد الوباء. لقد حان الوقت الآن لجميع المربين والمؤسسات التعليمية للحفاظ على الدروس المستفادة من هذه الأوقات الصعبة وتكييفها لتحسين الخدمات التعليمية والإمدادات حتى يرتفع التعليم أقوى من هذه الأزمة.

علمتنا هذه الأزمة مرة أخرى أن المتعلم والتعلم هما في مركز الأحكام التعليمية ، ويجب أن تكون هناك طرق وأدوات مختلفة للوصول إلى المتعلمين الفرديين. يجب بالتأكيد اعتماد فصل دراسي ما بعد الجائحة بأنماط تفاعلية غنية من خلال الأنشطة الرقمية والعملية التي تأخذ التدريس بعيدًا عن المحاضرات التي تركز على المعلم إلى عملية تفاعلية تتمحور حول الطالب.

كما أكدت الأزمة مرة أخرى على أهمية القيادة التربوية الفعالة والتطوير المهني للمعلم. نعتقد أن هذه الأوقات الصعبة أبرزت حقيقة أن المعلمين هم ويجب أن يكونوا متعلمين مدى الحياة يمكنهم التكيف مع التغييرات والمتطلبات في العالم الجديد.

ستستكشف ICET 2021 الفرص ووجهات النظر للتطوير المهني للمعلمين والقيادة التربوية التي ستسهم في التقدم المستمر في التعليم في عالم ما بعد كوفيد.

الذي ينبغي أن يحضر:

سيكون هذا المؤتمر في المقام الأول موضع اهتمام:

أولئك الذين يشغلون مناصب التدريس والقيادة في المدارس والكليات العامة والخاصة
المعلمين المرشحين والقادة التربويين الطموحين
أولئك الذين لديهم اهتمام بالتعليم الدولي والتطوير المهني للمعلمين والقيادة التربوية
ممثلو الوزارة أو الحكومة المكلفون بتحسين الخدمات التعليمية للمجتمع

سيكون مدربون المعلمون والخبراء التربويون وقادة المجتمع من المجتمع المحلي والدولي في ICET 2021

لاستكشاف فرص ووجهات نظر جديدة لتحسين تجربة التعلم في الفصل الدراسي
زيادة الوعي بالتطوير المؤسسي والمهني في التعليم
لمساعدة المعلمين وقادة المدارس على توسيع خبراتهم
لتوفير فرص التواصل لجميع الحاضرين في الحدث – المدربين والأكاديميين وقادة المجتمع وممثلي المنظمات الربحية وغير الربحية وكذلك المسؤولين الحكوميين
لتوفير منصة مشتركة للآراء المتنوعة من أجل تكييف الخدمات التعليمية مع احتياجات العصر الجديد
