What is the Global Teacher Campus?

The Global Teacher Campus (GTC) is a flagship program of UNESCO’s Global Education Coalition. It seeks to provide teachers and educators with opportunities to improve their pedagogical knowledge and practice through the use of ICTs, digital technologies, and other forms of distance and hybrid education.

Response to the pandemic

The challenges to education that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought forth demand the diversification of contents, formats and pedagogies, and the collaboration of multiple stakeholders, including parents and communities, to sustain learning. Teachers have been at the forefront of these transformations and have adapted their practice to cater for longstanding and emerging needs and to a variety of contexts.

How does it work?

In this context, the GTC brings further learning opportunities for teacher professional development in the fields of hybrid and distance education, and training courses focused on the knowledge and skills required to teach at a distance and in diverse learning environments, including curriculum management and formative assessment. Drawing from the GEC partners and UNESCO’s own frameworks and standards, the GTC aims to develop teachers and more adaptive and responsive education systems.

Who can access the courses?

The GTC offers teachers, teacher educators, and teacher training institutions a curated online catalogue of self-paced and facilitated courses. All offers are free of charge. Teachers and teacher educators can access the self-paced courses by clicking the link provided.
