According to the Programmes Director of School of Eloquence, Christine Davies, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative took place at the School of Eloquence headquarters in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, August 26, 27, and 29, 2024, respectively.
The event, attended by 108 educators from Lagoon Primary and Secondary School, Lekki, was designed to empower educators with advanced communication and leadership skills to enhance their teaching effectiveness – and highlighted the School of Eloquence’s commitment to supporting educational excellence and nurturing teachers who inspire and lead future generations.
The masterclass was led by the Dean of the School of Eloquence, Mr. Ubong Essien – a highly regarded public speaker known as Nigeria’s Mister Motivator.
Mr. Essien, with his decades of experience in communication and leadership training, provided teachers with valuable insights and practical skills to enhance their performance and impact in the educational sector.
“We were honored to partner with Lagoon School for this significant initiative. Teachers are the cornerstone of our educational system, and by investing in their growth and development, we were investing in the future of our children and our nation,” Mr. Essien said.
Key highlights of the masterclass are identified as ‘Advanced Communication Skills: Techniques to improve clarity, confidence, and engagement in teaching’; ‘Motivational Strategies: Tools to sustain high levels of student motivation and participation’.
Others are ‘Leadership in Education: Empowerment for teachers to take on leadership roles within their schools and communities’ as well as ‘Personal and Professional Growth: Encouragement of resilience, innovation, and continuous improvement in teaching practices.’
Davies noted that the event built on the existing collaboration between the School of Eloquence and Lagoon School began in March 2024.
“As part of their co-curricular program, the School of Eloquence had been providing public speaking training to students of Lagoon School every Monday, helping them develop essential communication skills from an early age.
“The Inspired Teachers Masterclass underscored the School of Eloquence’s dedication to impactful CSR efforts that empower both educators and students,” Davies stated.
