Empowering teachers is central to our work—we have a deep appreciation for what makes a teacher successful, and a drive to ensure we deliver leading-edge teacher training programs. With a shared promise to empower teachers and provide best practice in teaching and learning, Rosedale is continuously assessing our teacher training programs to ensure innovation, effectiveness, and thought leadership—all to enhance our programs and deliver exceptional training outcomes for our teachers.

Rosedale’s Global High School Teacher Training Certification Program is an integrated solution to develop and empower local teachers at our international partner schools by equipping them with knowledge, skills, resources and tools to lead students to excellence through: Instructional Excellence, Student Achievement Enhancement and Academic Operation Efficiency. This comprehensive training program is designed to support the educational objectives and academic delivery of our Global High School (OSSD) Program through a Transformative Approach to Learning and is mandatory learning for Classroom Teachers—we create a supportive environment to well-prepare teachers with strategies, skills, resources and tools to create classrooms dedicated to differentiated education with an emphasis on higher order thinking skills. This program consists of three core learning formats, as last year: Independent Learning, Group Live Session and Teaching in Practice.

Last year, the Rosedale Global High School Teacher Training and Certification Program welcomed 239 new-to-Rosedale teachers, and in 2021, we anticipate nearly 350 teachers will join our proactive, comprehensive and practical training program to prepare them to apply our Transformative Approach to Learning in their schools around the globe.

New approaches and program enhancements

Two Qualifications

The new 2021-22 Teacher Training and Certification Program is divided into two parts, each leading to a qualification: a General Qualification (GQ) and Advanced Qualification (AQ). The GQ program is designed to onboard teachers to Rosedale Global High School Program, preparing them with essential knowledge, skills and resources to effectively deliver differentiated education with a focus on higher order thinking skills beginning their first day in the classroom. They will understand our Transformative Approach to Learning, HOTS-focused and collaborative teaching strategies, learn evaluation strategies and approaches for OSSD assessment, become proficient in our LMS platform and their resources and support tools, participate in scenario-based learning and much more. Our AQ program equips teachers with subject specific advanced instructional strategies to support the in-depth development of HOTS, enhance student learning and improve upon their academic achievement in four streams (ESL/English, Math/Physics, Chemistry/Biology, Business/Social Studies); the AQ prompts teachers to learn through questioning techniques, support individual learning needs and student growth, and provide instruction and feedback to improve student achievement. New teachers will also participate in this component of the training once they are in a classroom and working directly with students; ultimately allowing them to immediately turn theory into practice in their specific subject area.

Subject Specific

As part of both the GQ and AQ programs, we highlight subject specific content to support teachers in applying necessary skills to all teaching experiences and learning in teacher independent learning modules. Some of the essential elements include lesson planning in which we prepare our classroom teachers with subject specific examples, teaching demonstrations and integration of subject specific advanced instructional strategies for differentiated lesson planning; independent learning content on the Rosedale Digital Platform with subject based foundational and essential teaching strategies for higher order thinking skills development​ and more. In our live training workshops, our Rosedale subject expert trainers facilitate group discussion, sharing their expertise, knowledge and best practices in implementing advanced instructional and teaching strategies with teachers. All Teaching in Practice assignments are subject specific, and teachers can use the courses they are going to teacher to practice their new learning.

Practitioner Focused

Rosedale teacher training program implements, and models practitioner-focused training where practical classroom activities are designed to enable our classroom teachers to apply their learning to their day-to-day teaching and practice.​The essential segments include all instructional strategies not only include theory but also include the implementation using multimedia demonstration; the applications of academic policies are scenario-based learning with real examples from academic operation; our classroom teachers are given the opportunity to grade with the lens of a Rosedale grading teacher using sample student work products; lastly Throughout the program, classroom teachers receive written reflection and descriptive feedback from Rosedale teacher trainers and experts.​

Our teacher training programs continuously rank high among teachers and administrators and provide them the confidence to deliver differentiated education to meet diverse student needs and apply advanced instructional strategies to develop students’ higher order thinking skills.

A partnership between PAREF Southcrest School and Rosedale International Education reinforces a commitment to transformative education, diversity and global citizenship, with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma at the core.

Rosedale International Education and PAREF Southcrest School have signed a partnership to offer the Rosedale Global High School Program to PAREF Southcrest students in the Philippines. PAREF Southcrest School is our first Rosedale Global High School partner school in the Philippines, and we are proud to work with them alongside PAREF (Parents for Education Foundation) Education Group. PAREF Southcrest School is one of sixteen schools within the PAREF Education Group, a non-profit aimed at providing holistic education by combining high academic standards and character formation and has graduated more than 8,000 students in its four-decade-long history. 

“This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to connecting learners with real-world application and innovation in a forward-thinking, rigorous, and collaborative education environment. We’re proud to support PAREF Southcrest School with our differentiated learning solution that offers choice in how students learn, develop competencies, and demonstrate their achievements, and look forward to seeing these students realize their full potential,” says Michelle Cui, Founder and CEO of Rosedale International Education. 

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in Cebu, Philippines, in late 2022 with the program beginning in September 2023 and the first cohort eligible for graduation in June 2024. Upon successful completion at this Rosedale Global High School partner school, students will be granted a dual diploma, including a Philippines High School Diploma and Canadian Ontario Secondary School Diploma, allowing graduates the flexibility to apply to higher education institutions around the world. Together, we will expand access to world-renowned Canadian education that empowers students through asset-based learning to design their future and reach their full potential. 

Rosedale International Education operates Rosedale Global High School, and all Rosedale Global High School students across our 17-country partner school network attend the annual Global Student Success Forum, which connects them to more than 35 Global Top 100 Universities at our Elite University Student Recruitment Fair, providing opportunities to meet one-to-one with university admissions and recruitment staff, attend student workshops and Q&A sessions, and become well-prepared for the transition from high school to higher education. 

“Given the drive of PAREF Southcrest to offer our students a world-class education, and become global citizens, we are honored to be the first school in the Philippines to partner with Rosedale Global High School and offer the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Giving our students the option to have an international diploma like the OSSD, which is recognized by the top universities in the world gives them the chance to have better future career opportunities in any part of the globe, to broaden their perspectives and world views, to create linkages and interact with different cultures, and have a massive international alumni network. This partnership shows a lot of promise in making young people all over the world work together as a catalyst for change and for making the world better,” says Emylou C. Visaya, Executive Director, PAREF Southcrest School. 

Daniel Moran, Chairman of PAREF Education Group says “Academic excellence is a key pillar in the PAREF mission. I would like to congratulate PAREF Southcrest leadership for this wonderful initiative of offering a Canadian international curriculum in the Philippines which can benefit our students and facilitate their academic success. This partnership of PAREF with Rosedale Global High School in offering a dual PAREF-OSSD diploma will help improve our academic standards by making them truly world-class, and provide opportunities for our PAREF students and faculty. Exposing PAREF to the global network of OSSD will be very motivational and bring confidence to our students and teachers. We hope to contribute to this international-global tie-up with the OSSD network and we look forward to a very successful partnership with Rosedale Global High School.”
