The Bridge International Academies asserts that providing life‑changing education will help learners achieve success. To that end, the organisation trained teachers in a variety of teaching techniques, methodologies, classroom‑management best practices and pupil‑engagement strategies aimed at learner excellence. The training, conducted in the Alimosho and Ikorodu regions of Lagos, was designed to equip new teachers with the skills and knowledge needed to deliver quality education to pupils in Bridge International Academies, Nigeria, and included instruction on using digital tools and technology.
According to Managing Director Foyinsola Akinjayeju, “At Bridge International Academies, we believe that investing in the professional development of our teachers is critical to ensuring that our pupils receive the best possible education. We are committed to providing our pupils with a high‑quality education that prepares them for success. This training program for new teachers is a reflection of that commitment. We also believe that there are a variety of factors that lead up to effective learning; hence, the scope of the training covers topics ranging from teaching techniques, Bridge International Academies teaching methodologies, policies, and so on.”
Leadership and Development Manager Chinua Agbasi added, “The major objective of the training is to help onboard new teachers and managers with the skills and knowledge they require to provide life‑changing education to pupils in the communities we serve. The training also focuses on using positive behaviour‑management techniques to create safe and welcoming classrooms. These teaching techniques do not harm or humiliate pupils but encourage them to learn.”
One trainee, Thompson Gracester, said, “The training has given me a better understanding of how to engage pupils in the learning process and has equipped me with the necessary skills to deliver quality education to my pupils.”
At Bridge International Academies, teachers are supported with carefully designed lessons and materials to ensure effective teaching and learning.
