Myanmar Teacher Platform

The Myanmar Teacher Platform is a safe, secure and inclusive space for teachers, teacher educators, and student teachers who believe in the power of quality education to change lives. The platform consists of: 1. An E-learning platform offering free courses through synchronous and asynchronous learning, where learners also have the opportunity to interact with each other via discussion forums. Learners can also gain certificate on the completion of the selected courses. 2. An E-library containing over 200 electronic resources in various digital formats (E-books, videos, etc.). The E-library is integrated with the E-learning platform and thus helps learners to experience an organized and innovative mode of learning. 3. Blogs connected to the Myanmar Teacher Competency Standards Framework (MTCSF) and the Teachers in Crisis Contexts (TiCC) Training Pack and resources from across the MTP. The blog posts will be updated every week, providing you opportunities to help overcome challenges, gain insights into your professional development, and empower you to achieve your professional goals. 4. Groups in which you can discuss your opinions related to weekly-updated blog articles and exchange your views and experiences with your fellow teachers or even with experienced teachers. These groups also enable you to extend your professional network and promote peer learning. Many of the resources on Myanmar Teacher Platform are customized to the context of the country, whilst ensuring adherence to international good practices. While the platform is primarily targeted at educators and learners in Myanmar, it will enable all users to continue with their education and/or continuing professional development. Myanmar Teacher Platform is being implemented by UNESCO, with support from the Government of Finland. The initial version of the platform was funded by the Governments of Australia, Finland and the United Kingdom. UNESCO initiated efforts to enhance the functionality of the existing platform to allow for a better user-experience. Myanmar Teacher Platform now has a wider range of tools and capabilities better suited to the needs and context of users in Myanmar.
