Learning is not just for students

If there is one profession that is convinced of the virtues of continuing education, it is the teaching profession. 

At Collège Champittet, we offer our teachers four pedagogical days per year, to which we have added five additional half-days this year. 

The topics covered in the last two years have been: multilingualism, the Forest School, new technologies applied to teaching, learning support for children with special needs as well as egality, diversity and inclusion. 

In addition, the Nord Anglia Education Group provides our teachers with an online training platform, Nord Anglia University, which offers a variety of courses at the cutting edge of education.  

Thanks to the partnerships it has developed, the group also gives our teachers the opportunity to train with MIT and The Juilliard School.  

Some of them have gone a step further and decided to pursue a full degree program: 

• Géraldine Toussaint: CAS Economics and Pedagogy of Early Childhood Education, Geneva University 

• Melania Ciobanu: CAS Economics and Pedagogy of Early Childhood Education, Geneva University 

• Sabrina Bariswyl: CAS Environmental Education, Silviva Foundation 

• Marlène Adamah: Master in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Graines d'Éveil 

• Matthew Roberts: Master’s in international education, King's College, London 

• Janine Jalube: Master’s in international education, King's College, London

• Marion Pyrlick: Master in Germanistik, Lausanne University 

• Johanna Öttl: Master in Germanistik, Lausanne University 

• Josephine Vittoz: Master in Sciences and Education Practices, UNIL, HEP 

We salute their courage, hard work and determination and thank them for their commitment. 

Our next step?  

That these teachers, who have trained with the best specialists in the world, pass on their new knowledge to their colleagues and thus enable our Collège to be a learning organisation.
