Chile’s Ministry of Education has scheduled a series of online professional development sessions throughout October, targeting school leadership teams, teachers, and educational assistants across the country. The virtual workshops cover topics ranging from adaptive leadership and mental health models to specialized math instruction and school attendance strategies.
Adaptive Leadership and School Management Protocols
The Ministry of Education opens the October schedule on October 8 at 16:00 hours with an adaptive leadership laboratory focusing on real cases and protocols in action. Directed specifically at school leadership teams, the session will stream live via the official YouTube channel @mineducchile_14.
Additional administrative and legal topics fill the latter half of the month. On October 20 at 15:00 hours, educators will review strategies to address school attendance using real experiences from institutions implementing the Chile Presente program. Later in the month, on October 27 at 16:00 hours, sessions will focus on Law No. 21.827, which centers on security, order, and respect to strengthen pedagogical authority within educational establishments.
Pedagogical Strategies and Mathematics Instruction
Mathematics instruction features prominently in the October calendar, with multiple workshops dedicated to specific grade levels and methodologies. On October 15 at 17:30 hours, teachers instructing mathematics in grades 1 through 6 can participate in a session focused on boosting statistical learning through the Sumo Primero collection. Specialist math teachers working with students from 7th grade to 4th year of secondary school will gather on October 27 at 15:30 hours to examine MatCon as a reflective tool for supporting classroom pedagogical decisions.
Classroom culture and specialized support programs round out the curriculum. On October 22 at 16:00 hours, educational communities can access guidance on building a growth mindset culture in the classroom. October 28 marks a session on good practices within Integration and Special Education Programs (PIE), highlighting collaborative work for hearing-impaired, deaf, and hearing students. The cycle concludes on October 29 with a public class on transitioning from arithmetic to algebra through the Mathematics on Route program, streaming via the @centrofelixklein-usach YouTube channel.
