Train the Trainer – Cascade Model of Teacher Training

Large-Scale Training, Implementation and Pedagogical Support

Edusoft has developed a cascade model of training by which language schools can gain regional expertise in training and supporting Edusoft programs for teachers of English as a second language or teachers of English as a foreign language.
This enables large groups of teachers to be trained in a relatively short time period with minimal resources and allows schools to compete in large-scale English teaching and English learning tenders and projects.

Edusoft’s team of pedagogical experts runs training courses for supervisors and teachers, who, in turn, train multiple, small groups, until these skills are passed on to all levels of teachers.
