Calling all English teachers! Last year, our English Educator's Program was very successful, so we are running it again this year. It is designed for secondary school English teachers (teachers of grades 5 to 10).
Time & Location

About the Event
As English teachers, we all want our students to engage deeply with literature and see the connections between literature and life. We also want our students to develop critical reading skills, analytical and creative writing skills, and oral communication skills. Additionally, we want to make sure that our students are well-prepared for the high-stakes exams that they will take in high school.  If you are looking for ways to develop your craft as an English teacher, come join TREE’s diploma program. We’ll help you become a more effective and engaging teacher. We guarantee that at the end of this program, you will deepen your own love of literature and language, and you will develop a wide range of tools and strategies to ensure that your students become better readers, writers, and thinkers. We promise that you will also see an improvement in your students’ IGCSE English exam results.
Module 1: Why reading for pleasure matters
How to create a reading culture in your classroom
Module 2: Novel study
How to help students analyse literature effectively
Module 3: Analytical Writing
How to teach students to construct an argument and write a literary essay
Module 4: IGCSE Language Tasks
How to prepare students for the IGCSE Language exams using a task-by-task approach to the IGCSE reading and writing papers. We will also work through some checkpoint papers. This module builds on the ones before because teachers can only teach exam strategies after they have helped students learn how to read critically, how to analyse literature, and how to write analytical paragraphs and essays.
