Cognitus Academy Teacher Training Programme
Teachers form the foundation of our English programmes and are screened meticulously and trained rigorously before they enter the classrooms to teach.
Having been a teacher trainer at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Dr Daniel Chua has not only crafted a solid curriculum for our students, but also an effective training programme for our teachers.
Cognitus Academy teachers are interviewed at least three times and must exhibit the following qualities:
✅ Professionalism
✅ Compassion
✅ Dedication
✅ Passionate
✅ Inquisitive
All teachers appointed by Cognitus Academy undergo an intensive 3-month training programme in order to develop the following core competencies:
✅ Positive classroom culture
✅ Lesson preparation
✅ Lesson delivery
✅ Assessment and feedback
Whereas these competencies take months or even years to develop, the Teacher Training Programme puts the teacher on a strong footing at the start of their teaching journey.
During the training programme, teachers will be trained through the following modes:
Classroom observations (weekly for at least two months)
Reports of classroom observations and reflections (weekly)
Weekly review meetings with mentors
Weekly reading reports (see reading list below)
✅ Curriculum design exercises
✅ Diagnostic reports of students’ weaknesses
✅ Sterling results achieved in internally conducted English exams at the PSLE, O, and A-Levels.
(Note: Our teachers must be able to achieve strong results before expecting students to do so.)
Apart from honing their craft in teaching, our teachers must develop academic and philosophical roots in their pedagogy by studying the following materials in-depth.
✅ Singapore Chronicles: Education (S Gopinathan)
✅ Essential Motivation in the Classroom (Ian Gilbert)
✅ Critical Thinking (Paul and Elder)
✅ Dos and Don’ts of Behaviour Management (Roger Dunn)
✅ Designing a New Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Marzano)
✅ The Quality School (Glasser)
✅ Teaching Kids with Learning Difficulties (Winebrenner)
By the end of the training, every teacher is well-positioned to be successful as an educator for all students at Cognitus Academy.
For NIE-trained teachers who are interested to join the team at Cognitus Academy, please note that the training programme may be customised to complement your current expertise and experience.
Cognitus Academy invites all qualified, passionate and committed individuals to apply for the following positions.
