The Lorna Whiston Teacher Development Unit (TDU) offers a wide range of workshops and short courses for English Language Teaching designed to support teachers and educators who work with young learners (3-16 year olds) with their on-going professional development. In the last five years, we have trained more than 2,000 teachers from over 100 primary and secondary schools in Singapore and have run a number of key teacher training and development programmes for the MOE. Over time, we have acquired a strong reputation for delivering top quality in-service training.

In addition to the courses and workshops held at our United Square centre, our Teacher Development Unit can also tailor-make courses and workshops to suit the specific requirements of schools and institutions. These can be delivered either in outside schools, or in our language centres. Please contact Anita Wilks, Head of Teacher Training & Development, if you are interested in having us develop a teacher training programmes specific to your school's needs.
