ICET 2021 Theme:
“Empowering Education & Classroom Experience in the Post-covid World.”
All sides of educational operations are longing for pre-pandemic normals of education. Although it is an expected and understandable motive after a challenging period for all stakeholders of education, it seems that nothing would be the same in a post-pandemic classroom experience. Now it is time for all educators and educational institutions to maintain and adapt the lessons learned from these difficult times to better educational services and provisions so that education rises stronger from this crisis.
This crisis taught us once again that the learner and learning are at the center of educational provisions, and there are and should be various ways and tools to reach individual learners. A post-pandemic classroom should definitely be endorsed with rich interactive patterns through digital and hands-on activities that take teaching away from teacher-centered lecturing to a student-centered interactive process.
The crisis also emphasized once again the importance of effective educational leadership and teacher professional development. We believe that these challenging times underlined the fact that teachers are and should be lifelong learners who can adapt to changes and requirements in the new world.
ICET 2021 will explore opportunities and perspectives for teacher professional development and educational leadership that will contribute to ongoing progress in education in the Post-covid World.
