Making HEADway

Education

Our practitioner-focused webinar and handbook series brings together strategies and actionable tips by leading academics and educators on how to cope with the evolving education landscape, and better manage their schools, staff and students during uncertain times.

The COVID-19 pandemic made clear the urgent need for customised and contextualised capacity building opportunities for educators in the region. The sector was evolving rapidly, and educators, particularly in less-resourced parts of Southeast Asia, craved quality training opportunities. The shutdown of air travel meant that The HEAD Foundation’s traditional model of personalised face-to-face training for educators across the region was no longer viable.

Making HEADway was conceived, designed and launched by The HEAD Foundation in 2020. In each webinar series and accompanying handbook, leading academics and exemplary educators in the region share strategies and actionable tips on immediately responding to school closures, on future-proofing our schools and education systems so as to build back better.

HyFlex Teaching Using Google Workspace is a hands-on up-skilling workshop for incorporating tools such as Google Hyperdocs and Google Sites into teaching practice.

In this three-part webinar series, educators can learn:

how to introduce bite-sized STEM lessons in their classrooms,
how they can transform STEM pedagogy and leadership practices in their schools, and
how schools can establish and leverage networks within the community and with industries to strengthen STEM teaching practices.
