In Chile and many other countries, we're accustomed to people—in this case, teachers—being trained every year, but follow-up to see if what they've learned actually reaches the classroom is practically nonexistent.
Seeking to demonstrate that by training teachers at FinanCity, we reach the classroom with a high rate, we decided, on the one hand, to combine in-person and asynchronous training, and on the other, to offer different levels of certification based on the teacher's progress.
In the pilot program conducted with 68 teachers, 78% completed both the in-person and theoretical portions, an excellent result considering that the global completion rate for asynchronous courses did not exceed 5%. But here's the interesting part: 47% of the total included evidence of classroom application and achieved full certification.
That's an excellent number; we're very happy! But what about that 31% who didn't take the step to bring what they've learned into the classroom?
We still have a cultural challenge to face. It doesn't matter if what we've learned doesn't reach our students, and we will remain committed to it, measuring what needs to be measured.
