The seminars brought together more than 200 teachers, offering them comprehensive training and

workshops to improve their skills in integrating technology into their classrooms.

Highlights of the event included a workshop entitled ‘The Equation of Expression: Merging Literacy and
Mathematics,’ which focussed on integrating literacy principles into mathematics instruction through subject-

specific pedagogy. A workshop entitled ‘Cultivating Emotional Intelligence in the Classroom’ focused on

engaging activities and practical examples, educators learnt how to recognise and nurture these aspects of
emotional intelligence in their students, creating an environment that supports their social and emotional
development. In addition, Alef Education also launched 50 new worksheets and 17 new ebooks to its

Abjadiyat platform, emphasising its commitment to continuously improving educational resources.

Geoffrey Alphonso, CEO of Alef Education, said, “Our commitment to improving learning outcomes not only
involves offering innovative solutions but also providing ongoing support and professional development for
teachers. We understand that educators are essential in integrating technology into the classroom effectively.

The seminars in Abu Dhabi and Dubai were designed to empower teachers with the skills needed to utilise
technology effectively, creating a rich and engaging environment for students.”
