FF Training Regime - Training Courses

FF TRAINING 

(Customised Training based on Training Needs Assessment)

       Formal Training Courses

    We believe in providing complete orientation to our new team members to help them adjust comfortably in the system. FLASH Spring Training  is specifically organised to provide complete orientation to our faculty about the system and policies. The training is organised at Zonal level. The training includes:

1)    Induction Training for Teachers (ITT) – Policies & Procedures

2) Textbook Orientation Programme (TOP) - Subject and Textbook-based

 FLASH Summer Training is the mega training event that is organised at central level. Teachers from all over the country are gathered at Rawalpindi to provide them a unique experience of first hand knowledge of policies/ procedures, meeting with the policy makers (FF HO), interacting with fellow teachers from various parts of the country and participating in curricular, co & extra-curricular activities (experiential learning model). Our training is based on adult learning methodology and teachers are equipped with the essential skills to replicate the model as per the students' needs and requirements.  By the grace of Almighty Allah, we have a long list of accomplishments in this area. Over the last decade, we have evolved a model to cater to the needs of all the faculty members teaching at various levels. The main courses run for faculty are:

1)    Quality Teaching Methodologies (QTM) – Arts Teachers

2)    Maths and Science Teaching Strategies (MASTS) – Science Teachers 

3)    Effective Communication Skills (ECS) – Language Teachers

4)    Academic Improvement Model (AIM) – Teachers taking board classes

The syllabus of teacher education is designed in accordance to the FFES, national and international standards. We take pride in keeping our faculty updated according to the latest trends in education, teaching & learning.
