The ECIS Global Pedagogy Certificate in Relational and Restorative Practices invites educators working in international settings to explore how relational and restorative approaches can transform classroom culture and strengthen community.
With a focus on building strong, respectful relationships, this session offers practical tools for creating inclusive environments where every student feels a sense of belonging, connection, and value. Rather than managing behaviour through control, participants will explore how to respond to challenges with curiosity, care, and consistency by fostering accountability, empathy, and mutual respect. Grounded in global pedagogy and informed by research, the course ignites reflection on the role of identity, language, and culture in relational dynamics. Through reflective dialogue and hands-on strategies, educators will leave with a strengthened relational toolkit and a clearer vision for cultivating trust and inclusion in their context.

The ECIS Global Pedagogy Certificate is a practical, forward-looking introduction to Universal Design for Learning (UDL), designed for teachers who are ready to take the first steps toward more inclusive, flexible, and identity-aware practice. Grounded in the CAST UDL Guidelines (version 3.0), this session recognises that UDL isn’t an add-on, quick fix or a silver bullet-but a powerful framework for designing with learner variability at the centre. Teachers will explore how identity, culture, and experience influence how students engage, access content, and express their learning, and will begin applying strategies from the UDL principles of engagement, representation, and action & expression. Through discussion, reflection, and practical examples, participants will leave with adaptable tools and a clear starting point for designing everyday learning experiences that remove barriers and support the success of all learners.

Session 1: Why UDL Changes Everything

Session 2: Designing for the Learners in Front of You

Session 3: Making Learning Work for Everyone

The ECIS Global Pedagogy Certificate in Literacy in Education invites international educators to reimagine literacy as a powerful tool for identity, agency, and global understanding. In today’s multilingual, multicultural classrooms, literacy is more than reading and writing – it’s about making meaning, amplifying voice, and connecting across differences. Grounded in global pedagogy and informed by research, this course explores how inclusive, inquiry-driven, and culturally responsive literacy practices can ignite engagement and impact across the curriculum.
Participants will examine how to embed authentic reading, writing, speaking, and listening opportunities across disciplines – recognising literacy as everyone’s responsibility, not just the language teacher’s. Through reflective dialogue and hands-on planning, educators will explore how to cultivate joyful reading and writing cultures, design purposeful and personalised literacy experiences, and empower all learners, especially multilingual students, as readers, writers, and thinkers.

Session 1: Literacy as Identity, Voice & Belonging

Session 2: Designing Purposeful and Personalised Literacy Experiences
