Teacher Training Mid Week

As we have moved into the middle of the week of teacher training, we are focusing on working with specific techniques to better understand the new pupil objectives, and working with the teachers to develop objectives for the quality of their teaching.

The group is working well together and is very focused throughout each day. They respond well to all of the techniques, and spent the afternoon constructing their teaching objectives. It is very clear at this point that they have an intellectual understanding of what they should be doing. Getting organized is the problem, and we will spend the last two days of the week focused on that piece of work.

Above is a photo of teachers using a tableau (frozen picture) strategy to demonstrate quality teaching and learning in their classroom. The two teachers standing represent creatures of nature coming to the waterhole to drink, while the man crouching represents another creature that is blocking their access to the water. In the end, they find a way to drink.
