Elevate Program Updates (January to April 2025)

Continuous Professional Development (CPD):
OBLF's CPD is a structured, ongoing process focused on strengthening the teaching capacity of community educators. It builds English language proficiency—covering phonetics, grammar, reading, writing, and communication—while also training teachers in learner-centric pedagogy, inclusive practices, classroom management, and assessments. The program is reinforced through regular on-field coaching, mentoring, and documentation of best practices to ensure consistent implementation and long-term growth.

Teaching & Syllabus Completion:
Final syllabus units were completed, followed by structured revision sessions across all grades. Teachers conducted in-school sessions consistently, aligning instruction with curriculum goals and learner needs.

Assessments & Student Learning:
End-of-year assessments were conducted for students across Grades 1–7. These included listening, reading, writing, and speaking assessments. Data collection and analysis began and will inform learning interventions. Teachers were also trained to administer student assessments effectively.

Teacher Assessments:
Classroom observations were conducted to assess pedagogical implementation. These provided valuable insights into inclusive teaching practices and were used to guide further coaching.

Socio-Emotional Learning & Gender Awareness:
Teachers participated in sessions on body autonomy, emotional well-being, and sexual health. These sessions encouraged reflection on identity and built confidence to engage students on sensitive but essential topics—promoting safe and supportive learning environments.

Key Event – Gender Conference:
To celebrate Women’s Day, OBLF organized a Gender Conference that brought together educators to reaffirm our commitment to equity and inclusion in schools.

Training Milestone – Teacher Recognition:
Five OBLF teachers completed the intensive "ReThink Education" course by Ekya Professional Development Institute. Their dedication to self-learning through pre-readings, live sessions, and assignments marked an important step in strengthening our teacher development approach.
