On 14 July 2024, a Professional Development (PD) Session on Effective Lesson Planning was conducted by Lecturer Hussain Shareef for teachers of L. Maamendhoo School. The session aimed to strengthen teachers’ skills in designing purposeful, engaging, and learner-centred lessons that effectively respond to students’ learning needs.

The session focused on practical strategies for effective lesson planning, including the alignment of learning outcomes, instructional approaches, and assessment practices. By strengthening teachers’ capacity to plan coherent and engaging lessons, the session supported the development of effective teaching practices and improved learning experiences for students.

The initiative contributes to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education by strengthening teacher capacity and promoting effective pedagogical practices. It also supports SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities by encouraging inclusive teaching approaches that address the diverse learning needs of students and promote equitable learning opportunities.

Furthermore, the session contributes to SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals through collaboration between the Faculty of Education and schools, supporting continuous professional development, knowledge sharing, and educational improvement.
