Training

The School for Training is my small specialist teacher development institute in Barcelona, providing innovative courses of the highest quality for teachers from all over the world.

The School for Training gives teachers the training to meet their students’ needs and promote positive change in the classroom and beyond. Teachers learn to think deeply, critically and creatively about teaching and learning. Classes are varied, practical and hands-on, but with reference to relevant theory. With this thorough background in theory and practice, teachers are better prepared to intelligently and compassionately serve their students.

Here are some comments from teachers on The School for Training courses:

“I loved the way Kieran delivered the course and how much he knows about the field.”

“I loved the tutor’s energy, enthusiasm, the topic’s relevance and the hands-on instructions given.”

“Kieran always exemplified the theory with practical examples, teaching ideas and activities.”

“Kieran delivered the course in a very enthusiastic atmosphere.”

“Kieran shared with enthusiasm his wealth of experience through numerous practical examples and links as to where to find relative resources and information.”

“Kieran justified the need for video literacy, provided a rich selection of video resources, and created a productive learning environment in the classroom.”

“Kieran was very well prepared and the materials he gave were really relevant for the purpose of the course.”

“Kieran fostered challenge in teaching new technologies applied to the language classroom – and made us laugh , showing that the secret of doing things well is to have fun!”

“Kieran interested the audience, got us involved, and made us participate.”

“The course has given me more confidence in developing learning resources, and wider variety of approaches for exploiting video.”

“After doing this training course I will definitely use more videos in class to teach both English and empathy. In other words, film and video will become central to my practice.”

“This course will enable me to incorporate video and film activities into my everyday teaching and to get my students to work autonomously on video productions.”

“The training course helped me to a great extent as many aspects have become clearer now with regards to film use. It also helped me to develop many more points in my research project as recommendations to English language teachers, to me as a teacher as well, and hopefully, to organise some workshops for teachers in Algeria and share with them what I learnt from this training and how to apply films and videos in their classes effectively.”
