Capacity Building in Timor-Leste: Notre Dame Educators Deliver Inservice Training for ICFP Staff

Following the recent Marist Higher Education Conference in Rome, Br Peter Corr arranged for a team of university staff from Notre Dame of Dadiangas University in the Philippines to come to Timor-Leste and provide Inservice training of Instituto Catolico para Formacao de Professores (ICFP) Staff. The ‘training of trainers’ sessions took place over two weeks during Jun including learning pedagogy in Mathematics, how to apply inductive, deductive, flipped classroom and project-based learning methods in the learning process of mathematics.

At the end of the fortnight a signed memorandum of understanding between ICFP and NDDU took place, and the distribution of certificates of appreciation to all trainers and participants.

It is wonderful to build relationships with another Marist tertiary institute and ICFP looks forward to growing stronger ties with NDDU in the years to come.
