TIER/Teachers Academy
Maastricht University’s Teachers Academy offers training and courses for teaching staff based on the premise that pressing problems in education can only be resolved through a creative approach. In this, the evidence-based approach is an important aspect: changes in education are not introduced until they are proven effective. This requires teachers to have not only a specific work method, but also an appropriate attitude.
With its Teachers Academy, the university – together with its partners from primary, secondary and higher education – aims to contribute to the professionalisation and academisation of Dutch education, in order to reduce, among other things, the impending shortage of teachers. The academy strives for a coherent offer of programmes covering all education levels.
The Teachers Academy is closely linked to the Top Institute for Evidence Based Education Research (TIER). TIER’s three partners – the universities of Maastricht, Amsterdam and Groningen – strive to improve the quality of Dutch education by promoting an evidence-based approach as the guiding principle in educational policy and practice.
This programme is taught in Dutch only. Further information can be found on the Dutch version of this website.
