Institute for Contemporary Education annual membership:
12 months of professional development for educators
ICE’s professional development programs are designed for educators who continuously work on improving their didactic, methodological and digital competencies. Membership packages also help colleagues who are starting in the field of education to discover where to direct their efforts so as to achieve the best possible results in the classroom.
The Institute brings together renowned experts and education leaders who selflessly share their experiences and knowledge, and colleagues who are aware of the importance of lifelong learning and development. Choosing ICE’s quality professional development programs enables teachers to be exemplary professionals. So, join the members of ICE, a unique network of exquisite teachers who aspire to advance and push the boundaries in education.
Why is professional development in education important?
Changes in one’s environment, way of functioning, and life dynamics are occurring at an increasing pace, so adaptation is a lesson we all need to learn. We encounter new technological advancements that are becoming our reality on a daily basis, and new education standards are becoming an intrinsic part of the journey for every teacher. Those who understand the concept of lifelong learning and work on their professional development, convey this idea to their students. This way, they teach generations of students to be aware of the importance of lifelong learning, and acknowledge that there are no limits to what they can do.
Whether you wish to keep pace with educational innovations, become a leader, revolutionary and innovator in education, gain skills for new business positions in the country and abroad, or become a dedicated and loved teacher, ICE membership provides you with top-quality, modern and practical development programs designed to respond to your every requirement.
ICE membership – a gateway to knowledge and skills
Educators have a task to not only transfer knowledge, but help students shape their personalities and attitudes, and prepare them for a professionally successful, fulfilled and ethical life. It is, therefore, necessary to work on one’s professional development so as to make achieving top educational results a part of your personal and professional journey and your students’ learning experience.
ICE has created three membership packages, which provide teachers with an opportunity to achieve fantastic progress in developing their personal and professional skills, fulfill their development vision and acquire valuable diplomas and certificates, make a revolutionary step in teaching, and achieve spectacular results in the classroom.
ICE membership provides a unique opportunity to teachers, professors, pedagogues, and other participants in education to make a change in their approach to teaching that will delight students and make classes interactive; and all this within a year. Professional development mustn’t be a privilege of the selected few, but an obligation of all participants in the education system. If we want to change the world, we must work on the development of those changing the world – and that’s you!
