GES Invites Teachers to One-Day Capacity Building Workshop on NTC Teacher Portfolio Development
The Ghana Education Service (GES) in the Nkoranza North District has announced a mandatory one-day capacity building workshop for all teachers within the district, aimed at improving teachers’ proficiency in the use of the National Teaching Council (NTC) Teacher Portal and strengthening their professional portfolios.
In a circular dated 18th November, 2025, and issued by the District Directorate of Education, heads of Basic and Second Cycle schools were informed about the upcoming training scheduled for 1st and 2nd December, 2025. The workshop will run in two cohorts, with sessions starting at 8:00 a.m. sharp on both days.
According to the GES, the workshop focuses on three critical areas essential to every teacher’s professional growth:
Key Objectives of the Training
- Enhancing teachers’ skills in navigating and resolving challenges on the NTC Teacher Portal.
This includes addressing common issues teachers face with logging in, updating records, and managing their profiles on the portal. - Guiding teachers on how to properly upload relevant artifacts for assessment.
Participants will learn how to compile, prepare, and submit required professional documents such as lesson plans, CPD evidence, and other portfolio materials. - Training educators to craft a compelling Teaching Philosophy and build a quality Teacher Portfolio.
This aspect aims to help teachers articulate their professional identity and demonstrate their competencies in alignment with NTC standards.
