Professional Sharing (External)
YCKSS ensures the transfer of professional learning through a cycle of application and reflection refinement. We also develop the capacity of staff through external sharing at cluster, national and international platforms.
Our teacher's reflection:
“Collaborating with teachers from other schools and the Master Teacher for Social Studies was a fulfilling journey. It was also an enriching experience for us to share our work at the MOE Teachers’ Conference.”
