High competence teachers are extremely important the nowadays education system to attain the core objectives of education in each educational institution. This study aims at improving the primary school teachers’ professional competence in designing appropriate teaching preparation, selecting and using the right teaching method and conducting more authentic and productive assessment.

The result of the analysis of the data indicates that the Dynamic interactive workshop is highly effective strategy in improving the primary school teachers’ teaching competence. This study suggests that primary school teachers’ competence should be continually developed in order that they all are sufficiently equipped with teaching competence to teach the students to face rapid changes of globalization era and social life development.
