OUR APPROACH
TO THE TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS
1. A blended online-offline approach
Hybrid learning helps teachers to understand and apply modern teaching methods to their classroom. Our tried-and-tested blended approach will target teachers in schools: the untrained teachers for comprehensive certificated oriented training, and for trained teachers, Continuous Professional Development (CPD) through short refresher courses.
Education learning centers (ELCs) will be established to enable face-to-face training. Educational Learning Centers (ELCs) will be identified in central places within a cluster of at least 5-10 schools. These centers will be either existing schools or other educational centers.
2. On-the-job training
This project will use On the Job Training (OJT), which will take place in the workplace – either at the school or in ELCs.
3. Teaching Practice
The main objective for teacher training is to improve the quality of teaching and learning on a daily basis. It is envisioned that the trainees who are already teaching as untrained teachers will incrementally improve their skills with every training lesson offered. This will ensure direct benefit to their pupils. This is the main objective of the OJT, incremental improvement of quality teaching.
4. Training Curriculum
This training will adopt the training curriculum of the Somali country where the program is being conducted, in order to align it with Somali’s education strategic plan as well as ensuring recognized certification.
5. Baseline Survey
A baseline survey will be conducted prior to the beginning of the program to establish the performance of the schools in the subject areas of the trainee teachers.
6. Induction and duration
After identifying the trainee teachers, there will be a comprehensive induction that will be done onsite with a possibility of video link sessions for partners who may not able to attend physically. The induction will deal with the following issues:
- Mode of training delivery: online, onsite
- Assessment and progression
- Establishing the digital gap of the trainees
- Introduction to delivery platforms
- Discussion of the administrative and governance structure
- Creation of a trainee network, and representation
- Establishing support systems
Skill devolvement projects
- Vocational training development
- Training on computer education skills
- Tailoring skill training
