Teacher Training and Professional Development
To maintain high educational standards, teacher training sessions are conducted twice a month in the Kota Kinabalu area. Each session comprises two parts: a review of the syllabus for subject alignment and a problem-solving discussion led by a mentor from the education team. These training sessions rotate among learning centres to ensure consistent teacher development. The focus on syllabus familiarization and collaborative discussions helps address challenges in teaching methods and class management, promoting effective solutions.
Community Engagement and Health Initiatives
ElShaddai Sabah extends its support beyond academic learning through home visitations for families in need, fostering stronger relationships and understanding community challenges. Additionally, health education classes and mother’s classes are conducted weekly in three learning centres in the Kota Kinabalu area, spearheaded by Dr. Evelyn. These classes provide essential knowledge on health and wellness, benefiting both students and their families.
