The International Teachers’ Olympiad 2022 has been announced as a multinational Olympiad for teachers. The Olympiad’s goal is to assess the efficacy of teaching practises across global teaching standards and to prepare teachers for hybrid classrooms, changing modalities, evolved pedagogies, and innovative practises.
The Olympiad registration will open on September 1, 2022. Top teachers from the Olympiad will also receive cash prizes, according to the event’s organisers, Suraasa (Les Transformations). The Olympiad is expected to attract 100,000 teachers from various nationalities from around the world.
Teachers able to assess their state and national standings
Teachers competing in the Olympiad would be able to assess their state and national standings using their percentile scores. They will also receive a personalised assessment of their pedagogical skills as well as a six-month action plan with expert recommendations from international teacher educators. This will ensure that all students at all levels of education are taught by qualified, professionally trained, and well-equipped teachers in accordance with the National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST), NEP 2020 recommendations, and global teaching practises.
During the Olympiad, schools will receive a separate report that includes the aggregated, overall scores of all their teachers, as well as an action plan for improving student achievement and engagement in their classrooms. According to the event organisers, this will help them and their teachers approach professional development and growth in a more data-aware manner.
Teachers to discover their true teaching potential
Rishabh Khanna, leading Cognitive Scientist and Suraasa CEO shares his thoughts about the Olympiad, “Teachers are highly underappreciated and underrated. We believe that the International Teachers’ Olympiad will go a long way in getting them the much-deserved recognition by highlighting their expertise in the world. It will act as a tool for teachers to discover their true teaching potential by identifying their
individual strengths and giving them a concrete plan of action to achieve their goals.”
“This might be one of the many new initiatives that would propel the country to the global forefront of education by diagnosing the problem as well as delivering remedies to direct stakeholders. At the same time, it also puts deserving teachers under the limelight catapulting the teaching profession at the heart of education transformation,” added the release.
