Teacher’s Training
Rural North India
Teacher’s Training Report
Since June 2018, we have worked with 213 teachers (impacting 5400 children) in various areas in the north of India – Ludhiana, Kacchwa, Mirzapur, Dehradun and West Bengal. For most (if not all!) of the teachers, this is all very new. They have never taught their students using visual aids, games and other interactive and creative activities.
Teacher Profile
Poonam
Poonam teaches in a non-formal school in a slum, that is attended by 85 students. She has been a teacher for 5 years and she played a key role in starting this school that had fewer than 20 students to begin with. One of the many amazing things about Poonam is that every time we ask about a particular student in her class, she knows their background and story off the top of her head. She has built and sustained relationships with most of the parents in the community. Poonam has been attending our teacher training for almost a year and we have seen her confidence grow with each training session. She has done an excellent job of implementing the new curriculum.
