22-26July- online delivery modeling the learner experience of CTL Global
Big Picture
CTL Global in partnership with Soccer IQ Institute will be delivering the academic program to learners virtually. Daily there will be 2 hour synchronous sessions with work in between. The learning will be a mix of project based and mastery focus with elements connecting to the UN Sustainable Goals and interdisciplinary as much as possible.
Teachers will meet for a 2 hour synchronous session led by Dr. Mara Simmons and then will have time to prepare for the following day. This model called Flipped Learning requires that learners engage with the material ahead of coming to class.
