Qualification - Certificate In Alternative Education

Education is Changing.

It is hard to know what the future will look like; but mainstream ideas of attending lectures in a classroom are unlikely to be the "mainstream" concept of education in the future. Many who have built careers on the idea of large numbers of students listening to a teacher talk. A lot of those career teachers feel threatened by uncertain change. Others who are contemplating a career in education are likewise, feeling uncertain.

Modules

Note that each module in the Qualification - Certificate In Alternative Education is a short course in its own right, and may be studied separately.

Education is changing rapidly today.

Education comes in many different shapes and forms, and traditional education systems do not suit everyone. Some people simply don’t learn as well in a highly structured or conventional situation. Sometimes, a parent or employer seeks a different kind of learning: perhaps one that is more focused on the capacity to be innovative and creative and less focused on learning facts and skills; or learning that is more based on developing problem-solving skills. Also, there is a worldwide increasing demand for more flexible forms of delivery or multi-model education. We have designed this course for educators and trainers who want to develop the skills and broader perspective that will help them meet these new and changing demands. It will help you develop alternative education strategies and alternative educational options to meet the changing needs of students and employers.

This is a course for people who have a vision of the future and wish to be part of these changes; helping to forge new and exciting  alternative approaches to education that are better suited to the modern world.
