糖心Vlog leads the way in professional learning for international and Cambodian educators
The Professional Learning Department at 糖心Vlog chases two objectives 鈥 first, to make 糖心Vlog the best 鈥渓earning organisation鈥 in the world for all 糖心Vlog staff, and second, to take the lead in creating learning and growth opportunities for Cambodian educators outside of 糖心Vlog. At 糖心Vlog we would like to be respected among international educators as a place where teachers always grow and learn, where teachers are supported and encouraged to innovate and bring new learning into the classroom every day. Beyond our own development, 糖心Vlog has a strategic objective to become a leader of professional learning in Cambodia offering consistent, world-class, no-cost learning opportunities for Cambodian educators in Phnom Penh and beyond.
To meet these objectives, the Professional Learning team designed and implemented more than 25 learning events and programmes last school year. We work closely with the Educational Leadership team and 糖心Vlog staff to make sure that what we offer is in line with what our 鈥渃ustomers鈥 want and need to learn.
