Training 2000 Teachers/Empowering 10000 Girls/Boys

A total of 52 teachers from 8 schools participated in PHASE Nepal Best Teaching Practices Training. During those training the teachers learned and practised the child centred and participatory strategies for better learning achievement and enhancement of critical thinking in children. These activities were designed based on the findings of the classroom baseline survey done before the training. A thorough observation of classes will also be done after the training to measure training achievement in teachers. After the observation 15 outstanding teachers will be developed as mentor teachers to conduct peer to peer support programme in the participant schools. 

The training was mainly focussed on the maximum engagement of children in the classroom to support critical thinking and different learning styles in children, unlike traditional lecture style classroom. The other focus of the training was to identify and utilize local materials in teaching especially in the limited resource areas like Kashigaun and Keraunja. In addition to the training, PHASE provided basic teaching materials and visuals for the classrooms of these participant schools.

" The sessions were interactive and practical enough to implement immediately in our classrooms. I especially liked the improvised mini whiteboards made from white papers inside the transparent plastic envelopes. I have used it for the first time and find it really useful for quick assessment and practice in my classroom."
