Training Effective Afghan Teachers

From January through September of this year, 1,266 teachers have been trained by the staff of the Afghan Institute of Learning.  In addition to the Technique Seminars, where they learn the hands-on methodologies of teaching, the teachers are attending workshops and seminars sponsored by AIL.  Topics that these teachers have studied include Health, Democracy, Peace, Leadership and others.

Here is what one of those teachers had to say:

“I am one of the teachers of this school. Since I have taken AIL’s seminar, I can feel changes in my teaching methods because I am getting very good input from my students and I am very much glad and satisfied. AIL’s seminar teaches us how to use available and natural materials for our lessons and how to stimulate students and how to get a student to participate in the class work such as group work and asking questions.  Through which the students can take the lesson easily and comprehensively and also I learned how to make plans (annual plans, monthly plans and daily plans) so a teacher can be successful by having plans.”
