Training of Club P.A.N teachers at the headquarters of the Office Ivoiriens des Parcs et Réserves in Soubre
Empower local teachers through capacity building
All teachers and principals are trained with much care at the beginning of each school year. A workshop for 3 days is conducted to guarantee that the lesson plans, sessions and activities will have the utmost impact. We go though all sessions with the participants and also conduct all outdoor activities and experiments planned for the children. Together, we improve games, songs and theater plays.
Participation, motivation, engaging and enthusiastic trainers, good materials, nice training environment (we conduct training workshops outside for direct relevance to the material being discussed as well as a comfortable, healthy environment for participants).
The first school year showed that teachers and school principals needed to be trained intensively because their capacities were not enough to teach the program. They were happy for the extra effort and advice on how to teach well so that they could engage their students better. The skills they acquire during this training workshop can also be applied to the other disciplines that they also teach the children as part of the regular curriculum.
