2025 GBS International Teaching & Learning Workshop
Building Relationships: A Key to Successful Schools
Ghana Beyond Subsistence
provides annual workshops for Ghanaian teachers and their administrators. The purpose is to share pedagogical strategies and tools for classroom success and lifelong learning.
Workshop Guiding Principles:
-
Establish genuine relationships between U.S. and Ghanaian teachers.
-
Listen and learn from one another.
-
Focus on the benefits and challenges of engaging and motivating students.
-
Engage in novel learning approaches to develop ideas for the classroom.
-
Prepare to follow up in schools the subsequent week and virtually over the coming year.
The benefit of the workshop is to facilitate conversation and exchange between Ghanaian teachers and administrators and U.S. teachers. In a sense, GBS creates the space for teachers and partner schools to plan their way forward.
The 2025 GBS International Teaching & Learning Workshop will provide teachers the opportunity to Explore, Expand, and Exchange ideas to build the trust necessary for stronger community partnerships.
