How First Hydrogen School Works?
The First Hydrogen School implements novel methods in education, such as STEM and flipped classes, to make educational process more attractive and fruitful for our students.
The First Hydrogen School provides an educational course for pupils/students and a CPD course for professionals.
At the First Hydrogen School, students learn through an online learning platform, and they also have live online classes with teaches and tutors. Our students can create an individual learning plan, learn at their own pace and get high-quality knowledge. Online classes offer flexible schedules for learning.
The Platform and Self-Paced Learning
The online learning environment enables students to learn at their own pace. That is one of the major differences in comparison to traditional schooling. A student can learn at a personal tempo, mostly thanks to a virtual learning platform. The platform is a learning management system, and each student has a personal profile. Once they enroll, teachers will add learning material for specific grades to the student’s profile.
A student can access all lessons and assignments in each subject 24/7. That enables them to learn whenever they want and for as long as they wish. At the same time, the platform measures the progress of students. He or she can see anytime how far they’ve come and what awaits them in the following days.
With so many features, it is hard to explain the platform in words, so if you are curious to see how it looks like, you can book a meeting with our consultant, and they can do the platform presentation.
Online Classes and Tutoring Support
While learning only in the platform will suffice, First Hydrogen School also offers live online classes. Therefore, they can arrange full-time online schooling by combining online classes and learning on the platform. We believe that having a tutor or teacher will vastly improve a student’s online learning experience. Our teachers have an individual approach to each child and adjust teaching styles to students’ needs.
Our school offers two types of online classes — individual and group. Individual classes are one on one sessions with a tutor that a student can book whenever they like. Group classes enable students to connect with their peers in a virtual environment and work in a group. These classes are monitor and led by teachers. Group classes have predetermined timetables.
What is STEM? Why is STEM important?
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM education engages students and aids in developing their critical thinking and problem solving skills. STEM also offers the opportunity to apply concepts learned in the classroom to real world applications. Students gain knowledge that will help them excel in all aspects of life because of the heavy use of science, technology, engineering, and math in every day activities. Encouraging your students to get involved in STEM gives them an excellent head start in their academic and professional career. Students won’t just be helping their careers grow, but also benefit society through their innovation and perseverance.
Why First Hydrogen School STEM?
Each classes at the First Hydrogen School are accompanied by classroom experiments with demonstration of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies what allows students not only to fully understand operation principals of Hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology, but also to practical apply the concepts of Renewable Energy.
What is Flipped Classroom? Why is Flipped Classroom important?
Flipped Classroom is one of many methods is used to encourage an active learning environment. A flipped classroom is a type of blended learning where students are introduced to content at home (video lectures) and practice working through it at school. This is the reverse of the more common practice of introducing new content at school, then assigning homework and projects to completed by the students independently at home. One of the major evidence-based advantages of the use of video is that learners have control over the media with the ability to review parts that are misunderstood, which need further reinforcement, and/or those parts that are of particular interest.
What is a CPD course?
Continuing professional development (CPD) is defined as learning experiences which help you develop and improve your professional practice. It enables learning to become conscious and proactive, rather than passive and reactive.
Is CPD certification good?
Are CPD courses legit? Accredited CPD courses are legitimately recognized as fully certified achievements. Accreditation provides a stamp of approval, assuring prospective students of CPD courses that the courses are genuine and valuable.
How do I get a CPD certificate?
You can get a CPD Certificate by taking a CPD accredited course. CPD course is a type of learning program designed to help professionals stay up-to-date with the latest knowledge and skills in the chosen field. CPD Certificate confers a skill not a qualification and must not be seen as a replacement for a qualification that offers entry or an additional level or category.
