IMTA - International Management Teachers Academy takes places at the Alpine lake resort of Bled in Slovenia in June every year (the upcoming edition is scheduled for 9-18 June), and since 2000 has educated more than 500 professors of management from 40 countries, including from Kazakhstan. Many alumni report it had a major and long-lasting impact on their teaching careers.
IMTA is an intensive two-week program that helps management teachers to further improve their teaching skills, methodologies (especially working with case studies), and materials under the skillful guidance of highly experienced international faculty working closely together.
The first part of IMTA deals with teaching methodologies and the use of case method in general, while the second part goes very much hands-on into how to teach specific disciplines, where each participant gets a chance to analyze different teaching approaches and case studies from a teaching and learning perspective, as well as to practice case teaching themselves and receive valuable feedback from faculty and peers.
The event on 15 May, hosted by Almaty Management University, will be a great opportunity to learn more about IMTA from those who had experienced it first-hand, as well as about faculty development in general.
