According to trainers Lilia Abakieva and Nauryzbek Yesbossynov from the Center of Excellence, effective planning and assessment are crucial not only for managing time but also for providing an individualized approach to each student. A good teacher should be able to organize the class according to the different levels of students and work for 45 minutes with both high-achievers and those who struggle.
The topic of "Research in the work of a teacher" was inspired by the National Treasure Yurt, and forum participants used its model to create their lesson research plan. At a master class by Shugyla Kalikhanova and Kunsai Utesheva, young teachers learned about the process of creating a research paper.
Another popular theme on the site was "Learning to manage our emotions". Kyzjibek Abdramanova and Saule Zhuruntaeva discussed how to perceive and manage our own and others' emotions, and what causes them. They emphasized how our tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures, posture, and overall demeanor can create an atmosphere in the classroom that impacts learning.
Kalamkas Abdikarimova and Talgat Mukutov, trainers of the "Development of functional platform" thematic platform, believe that a teacher's ultimate goal is not just to apply knowledge in practice, but to apply it in life. They explained that functional literacy involves skills and experience, analysis and reflection, decision-making in non-standard life situations, and critical thinking.
