Based on our extensive experience of training
teachers in primary schools and non-formal education programmes,
the CLR has developed audio-visual and print training materials,
including training videos.
We train trainers to use these materials
to conduct inservice training programmes.
Our training materials
also:
Integrate theory and practice
Emphasise active, participatory
training methods
Allow for local adaptation
We have found that in order to enhance the capacity
of teacher trainers at the district and sub-districts levels,
there is a need to equip them with effective teacher training
materials in the video medium.
We continue to develop videos which
depict the complexities and realities of mainstream classrooms,
and engage teachers in reflection and discussion. We record actual
classroom transactions, so that one teacher's experience can
be a learning catalyst for others, and different teaching styles
viewed and analysed. These videos will be provided to participants
of all CLR trainers' training programmes.
