Extensive Support for Enhancing Qualifications of Teachers

Training contents over the Internet “NISE Learning Lab - Special Needs Education e-Learning -”

  NISE provides training contents over the internet in order to support independent efforts to improve the qualifications of various teachers including teachers engaged in education of children/students with disabilities and others concerned in prefectures and other institutions.

   Training contents are classified as follows, and a total of approximately 170 lecture contents are provided.

•  General fundamental theories and comprehensive/cross-sectional content related to special needs education such as inclusive education system development

•  Content (overviews, curriculums, teaching methods, etc.) related to expertise by type of disability

•  Content relating to instruction suited to the learning difficulty in regular classes

   All training lectures can be viewed for free from a computer, a tablet or a smartphone after registering for personal use. Also, boards of education, schools and other establishments that have registered for group use, can configure training programs to meet the needs of their trainees and then use the programs to train those teachers.
