Event Detalis: It gives us great pleasure to announce that NCBIS has been awarded the status of a Council of British International Schools Training School for the next three years. This means that NCBIS will be used as a centre for the professional development of teachers and school staff in the Middle East and North Africa. This will allow our staff to access top-level training as well as to meet and share ideas with staff from other quality international schools from around the world. COBIS: ‘The quality of applications was very high, and those who reviewed the applications were impressed with the calibre and diversity of approaches to CPD and professional learning in COBIS schools; It was a solid application for a school that is committed to investing in their staff. Appears to demonstrate growing commitment to Initial Teacher Training (ITT). As a school, the use of external provision is clearly identified with a good breadth of offer, including training for Governors; SENCO; support for administration staff attending COBIS training, etc... https://www.cobis.org.uk/cobis-news/
