Testimonials

“
The Cambridge PDQ has been a strong source of network for me to grow and seek purpose as I practice teaching. It has been instrumental in shaping my thoughts and the quality of learning that I must first experience before I transfer the same to my learners.
The learning provided through this programme is based on latest research, stirring innovative and reflective practices that has real impact and value in what I do. I earnestly hope and encourage more educators to participate in this life-transforming journey and become effective teachers themselves!
Rachel EzekielEducator, Vidyashilp Academy

“
“As a Director of Studies, I am so happy to see the change in the attitudes of the teachers. I see a great change in the teachers who have done their PDQ. They now talk about active learning,formative assessments and use the language of the teaching community. This is now motivating other teachers to do the course. I feel that the whole teaching -learning culture has changed in the school. Now there are teachers who think ‘What can I do to involve the students?’ Rather than ‘Oh! the students are not capable.’ The teachers are now trying to differentiate tasks and instruction to suit individual learners.”
Latha BalanPrincipal, Oasis International School

“At the CICTL course I have experienced a variety of teaching and learning strategies and principles. The impact of CICTL is that now I am able to better understand the needs of my learners and provide them with various opportunities to develop themselves. I have personally started reflecting on each and every activity I do in my life. And this has proved to be a boon for me.“

“
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Cambridge International Certificate in Educational Leadership course. It was a great learning experience with Dr Ambar Qaiyum (course leader) at Oasis International School (Cambridge PDQ centre). This learning journey of almost a year helped me in nurturing the leadership qualities to handle multidimensional situations with ease. Well- thought content of the programme and the delivery by the expert has broadened my understanding of the leadership theories and its practical implications.
Throughout the course, the interactive sessions and well-planned activities enabled me to identify my strengths and weaknesses as an emotionally intelligent leader. Doing this course during the pandemic has given me many opportunities to appreciate the abilities to adapt and take risks as an educational leader.”
Sarika SharmaHead of Physics Bangalore International School

“
“Being in a leadership role, I wanted to be an effective, inspiring and committed leader. The CICEL course presented the leadership styles, qualities and responsibilities of a school leader. It also focused on the KSDs of a leader. In school, the teachers perceived that I was giving cynical feedback to them. After going through the skill sets, I focused on the feedback skills and it yielded positive results. I also focused on being an instructional leader by planning with the teachers and helping them in implementing effective strategies for student learning. Thus the CICEL course has equipped me to be an effective school leader. And I continue to implement the learning of the course in my leadership role.”
