Queen Rania Teacher Academy offers an opportunity for Teachers, School Leaders, Educators, School Coordinators, Principals to participate in Teacher Skills Forum in Jordan titled "Learning is fun. Why are kids bored at school?"

Teacher Skills Forum:

A leading forum set to develop teachers and educators in the Arab world. The Teacher Skills Forum has gained regional and international recognition for its unique approach in that it primarily focuses on Teachers and classrooms needs to enhance and improve the quality of teaching. An initiative of Queen Rania Teacher Academy (QRTA), the forum stems from a simple idea: tackling the challenges of education in the region at the grassroots level, in our classrooms. An annual regional event organized by the Queen Rania Teacher Academy in partnership with the International Baccalaureate (IB) the Teacher Skills Forum was created to provide teachers from the Arab world with modern and creative strategies and innovative teaching techniques. It is a platform for teachers to explore, learn, and share experiences with some of the world’s most renowned educators and scholars.

Forum Title:

"Learning is fun. Why are kids bored at school?" Nowhere is curiosity more pronounced than in the eyes of a child. The journey of discovering something new is full of fun and gratification. Yet surveys from around the world (and our own children) tell the same tale; learners are bored at school. It is time that we confront this paradox head-on: If learning is fun, why are learners bored at school? Do we simply blame our children’s boredom on their shrinking attention spans that have been destroyed by tablets, social media, and video games? Or do we embrace the fact that children live in a reality of on-demand information and communication affording them amazing possibilities for self-discovery, passionate learning, and growth? Beyond discussing learning paradigms, curricula, teamwork, differentiated learning, the role of teachers, and pedagogical methodologies…can we imagine schools that are as fun as learning is?
