Teacher Support Site - (All Teachers but primarily for Senior Schools)

This website is a resource bank for teachers of CIE qualifications. The site contains subject resources, downloadable documents from previous exam sessions, and other online resources. On this site you will find the following:

  • 12,000 support materials for teachers of CIE qualifications

  • News for Teachers and Principals

http://training.cie.org.uk/courses

Real learning takes place when teachers try out new skills in the classroom, so CIE has devised a range of online tutor-led courses where teachers can do just that.

Each course runs for six weeks and participants are required to complete three assignments by undertaking activities in the classroom. An experienced CIE examiner and tutor leads the course and gives feedback on the assignments.

Teachers taking part in the courses will also benefit from sharing ideas, problems and good practice with colleagues around the world who are teaching at other CIE Centres.

In addition to our Online tutor-led courses we can now offer teachers who are new to CIE syllabuses the opportunity to learn more about their chosen syllabus in their own time, by completing our online self-study courses.
