    • Why Teacher Academy Matters

    The transition to CBC has changed what teachers need to know. Traditional teaching methods focused on content delivery and exam preparation. CBC requires:
  • Competency-based assessment instead of exam-only evaluation

  • Project-based and activity-based learning

  • Integration of technology and digital tools

  • Inclusive classrooms that accommodate diverse learners

  • Continuous professional development
    • The Teacher Academy bridges this gap with practical, accessible courses that you can complete at your own pace.

    Professional Development Certificates

    When you complete a course with 70% or higher on the final assessment, you earn a certificate. The certificate:
  • Is downloadable as PDF

  • Can be added to your professional portfolio

  • Includes a verification link for employers

  • Can be shared on LinkedIn

    • Using Teacher Academy with Your Students

    The Teacher Academy is designed to work alongside the student-facing features of Nehiju Learn:
  • Learn digital teaching strategies, then apply them using Nehiju Learn tools with your class

  • Study assessment design, then create quizzes for your students

  • Learn inclusive education, then use accessibility features with students who need them

  • Study parent engagement, then use the Parent Dashboard to communicate with parents
